Avoid hybrid plant varieties, as they've been bred specifically for aesthetics and may have unattractive nectar. - You can use the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalWildlifeFederation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalWildlifeFederation</a>'s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativePlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativePlant</a> finder to discover plants in your area that attract pollinators. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AudubonSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AudubonSociety</a> has a similar search that identifies native plants in your area that attract birds. - Follow seasonal changes and diversify your yard with plants that bloom at different times of the year for year-round blooms. - Remove <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InvasivePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasivePlants</a> and weeds when possible. - Provide a hydration station. Birdbaths are hazards for many pollinators because they can easily drown in them and because they are preyed on by other animals. Filling a shallow bowl with pebbles or marbles to a low water level will allow pollinators to drink while sitting on a perch. [I do create "bee baths" with marbles and rocks. I will be very cautious if I decide to provide "bird baths" this summer] - Provide nesting sides, like a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeeHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeHouse</a>. [Old logs can be good for some bees] - Use certain plants strictly as food for the larvae of pollinators to ensure they will have enough energy to grow and frequent your yard.

The public tours are given on the last Friday of every month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and cover the preserve’s efforts to restore the 90 acres of former farmland in the North Valley, according to the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District website."Partnering with the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division, the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District provides an annual report on some goals for the Candelaria Nature Preserve, including plans for soil health. The project is in the fourth year of its 20-year span. The 2023 report can be found on its website."The guided tours are led by volunteers from the Friends of the Candelaria Nature Preserve, like Ruth Salvaggio."'What we’re showing here is restoration,' Salvaggio said."One example of this restoration is the addition of logs, which were brought in to create habitat, Salvaggio said. This invites <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> to make use of the land again. She also said the nature preserve planted several varieties of plant life for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/butterflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#butterflies</a> and created an entire field dedicated to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pollination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollination</a>."The process of rewilding at the Candelaria Nature Preserve entails “transitioning the Preserve from non-sustainable agriculture to a mosaic of habitats that will support diverse native wildlife: wet and dry areas, hedgerows, grasslands, upland <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/shrublands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shrublands</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ConservationBuffers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ConservationBuffers</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/forage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forage</a> for wildlife,' according to the Friends of Candelaria Nature Preserve’s website."Just because a species is non-native does not make it an invasive one, and some non-native species function to support restoration. The workers carefully considered the place of certain <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InvasiveSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasiveSpecies</a>, such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElmTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElmTrees</a>."'They provide a canopy for birds,' Salvaggio said. 'They’re serving a purpose.'"However, part of the project is to prevent new elms from growing, according to Salvaggio."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Teff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Teff</a>, a type of grass native to Ethiopia and similar to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/millet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#millet</a> and#quinoa, was implemented in the preserve. Teff roots are shallow and the plant dies upon releasing its seeds, meaning teff is beneficial to the soil, Salvaggio said. In this way, teff acts as a natural mulch and a '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NurseCrop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NurseCrop</a>' that will support native plants in the future."Many <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativePlants</a> are found in the preserve, too, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/amaranth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amaranth</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlueGrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueGrama</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sacaton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sacaton</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mesquite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mesquite</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/saltbrush" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#saltbrush</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nightshade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightshade</a>."One of the destinations on the tour was the nursery, where many native plants begin their lives. Later, they are taken and planted in select areas, including the mosaics — plots designed to be flooded — Salvaggio said. Dispersed wildlife such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mesquitetrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mesquitetrees</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacatonGrass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SacatonGrass</a> grows in these areas."The work takes place on plots of former farmland separated by historic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/acequias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acequias</a>. An end goal is to meld the former farm plot zones to allow for the cohesive spread of the wildlife and return the land to its pre-farmed state, Salvaggio said."Bringing the land to its <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PreFarmed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PreFarmed</a> state also includes careful land <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/terraforming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#terraforming</a> in select areas, Salvaggio said. This is meant to carve out the original, natural <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/arroyos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arroyos</a> of the area."The guided tours are currently the only way for members of the public to see the Candelaria Nature Preserve.

Now, over 130 years later, Kobe University botanist SUETSUGU Kenji has discovered that this structure enables the plant to self-pollinate when insects fail to transfer pollen from another plant. <a href="https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1070853" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1070853</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/orchids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orchids</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pollination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollination</a>

erol_foretDaphne laureola L. is blooming. It is a winter plant species and it is pollinated by insects. Yes: there are Winter-dwelling insects. Obviously in Southern Spain only, its local main pollinator was identified as Clypeogethes elongatus (rosenh.) (a pollen beetle). Here it's not Spain. Pollen beetles are not foraging now. I have drawn a list of winter foragers in my forest and have suspicions about some species. But I can not confirm. Weirdly, I'm finding no reference about D. laureola L. pollination outside Mediterranean. Is anyone aware of a reference, I would have missed?<a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/pollination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollination</a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/PollinationEcology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PollinationEcology</a>
