Iowans continue to allow corn, soy, and industrial meat producers to straight-up poison them, elect politicians at all levels that cheer it on. All cowards or kleptocrats in positions of power and nobody that will stand up to king corn or king shit (or as they say, "nutrients").
"If you live in DM, you could go years without drinking water below 3 milligrams per liter," Jones said. "So the fact that we're just meeting the standard at 10 and to do that we have to sacrifice lawn watering, well, that's just a small part of the story."

Nitrates in Iowa's water near record levels. What are the dangers if they don't drop?
Nitrate levels in Iowa's Raccoon River are at their highest since 2013. Lawn watering ban is trying to prevent more restrictions and keep water safe.

2nd year in a row that I have a white-colored large-flowered penstemon (Penstemon grandiflorus). Last years plant has not returned and this one is in a different location.

!. Look at this astonishing animal. My velvet worm friend lives on moss in the rainforest. He is ANCIENT. WAY older than dinosaurs, lobopods like him even make an appearance in the Cambrian- when multicellular life became trendy.
You can find him today on a tree at Wildsumaco, in Ecuador :)

Remember to leave stems standing! I cut mine down to around 1 to 2 feet tall, and every spring I see the bees flying all around them. Here's a lil bee butt inside a royal catchfly stem. #bees #nativeplants

Another ephemeral starting to emerge is Aquilegia canadensis (Wild Columbine). One thing you’ll notice is the striking purple foliage. Many spring plants contain Anthocyanins which act as sunscreen, frost protection and heat absorber. As they mature they’ll fade to their normal green. #nativePlants
