Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝
Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive.
Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

Another one of the flowering plants my aunt gave me, was her intimidatingly large Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii).
While a smidge scary, it’s a fascinating plant with some unique traits!

🌿 Why Do My Avocado Leaves Rise in the Morning & Droop at Night? 🌿
Have you ever noticed the leaves of your plants putting on a bit of a performance throughout the day? In the early morning, its leaves reach upward, almost stretching toward the sky—only to droop & relax as the evening rolls in.

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety:
🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins
🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage
📉your stress hormone(cortisol) will drop significantly
Many of our brain pathways evolved to motivate us to forage for plants-they're still very active

I kept trying to figure out why the flowers on my butternut squash plants would only bloom in the morning and by the time I would go to take a picture when I got off of work they would already be closed up and shriveling!
Turns out, there’s actually a reason for this!
