While the rest of the forest is sleeping, the Manzanita is just waking up! 🪵🌸
Their "urn-shaped" flowers are a vital nectar source for hummingbirds right now
🐝 Musical Bees: Native bees must vibrate at a "Middle C" frequency to release the pollen (buzz pollination!)

🌿If you have a native garden, the best way to help your plants "celebrate" the New Year is to leave the leaves
🍂This natural mulch protects the roots from the freeze-thaw cycle and provides the exact habitat that local butterflies and bees need to survive the coldest months❄️

💥Native plants are California’s quiet superheroes
🌧️When heavy rain hits—like what we just experienced—native plants act as a natural buffer by stabilizing the soil and creating channels for the water to soak into
This reduces runoff pollution💖

Matilija Poppy🌼
Fall or Winter is the best time to plant
They are extremely sensitive to root disturbance, so handle the root ball very carefully
But, once settled, they are very aggressive growers, spreading rapidly by underground runners (rhizomes)

🌼Matilija poppies are surprisingly low-maintenance once established, but they can be tricky to start and aggressive in spread
☀️Full sun is best
Requires sandy - well draining soil
💦Water weekly during 1st season - then back waaaaay off
These beauties are very drought tolerant

The Western Monarch population has been decimated, with one recent overwintering count at Ellwood Main tallying only four individuals
This decline is fueled by habitat loss (milkweed, breeding, and overwintering groves), pesticide use, and climate change
