Native Trees in my Landscape- Monthly Program
This a great presentation! Full of information.
I really enjoy your videos. I walk along the canal and have wondered what the flowers and other plants are and you have covered quite a few. Thank you so much.🙂
Amber is beautiful! Please consider keeping her indoors, for her own sake and for the wildlife in this wonderful setting. Thanks for this tour and here is more info on Cats Indoors abcbirds.org/program/cats-indoors/
Thanks, KC! Lots of good close-ups. I loved the details that you pointed out, which would be easy to miss on a wildflower walk with a group..
Nice job, KC! Have you thought about getting rid of the garlic mustard? There did not appear to be a whole lot of it in the video, so it seems like it would be possible. And now would be the time to get it - before it goes to seed. But make sure to throw away the whole plant - or at least the part with flowers and seedpods.
Thank you KC. Your Virtual Wildflower Walk idea is very informative and well received. This is a nice substitute for being out in nature when it is not possible. I look forward to your next virtrual walk.
