Monday, August 18, 2008. Renewal in the Marsh. It has been almost three months since a lightning strike near the Garden ignited a wildfire that burned 12-acres of scrub and marsh, including the southern portion of the Preserve. In the short time since the blaze, the sand cordgrass (. Marsh has nearly recovered. The only visible reminders of the fire are the charred melaleuca trunks along the edge of the marsh, and the firebreak created to stop the blaze. Since the fire, water levels throughout the Preser...

Preserve Blog: June 2009
http://preserveblog.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2009. One of the wonderful birds that I often see in The Garden is the Anhinga. Often called the Snake-bird because of its propensity to swim with only its long neck and head above water, it is also know as Water Turkey, Darter, or American Darter. The Anhinga resembles the Double-Crested Cormorant. I tell them apart by looking at their bills. The bill of the Anhinga is straight and pointed (like the letter A). And the bill of the Cormorant has a hooked top (like the letter C).

Tuesday, December 16, 2008. Holiday Color in Our Wetlands. Recently several people have come to me, alarmed, to see the thousands of bright red berries of the invasive Brazilian pepper. Growing in the wetlands along Collier County’s roadsides. While it is that time of year when the Brazilian pepper flushes with crimson fruits, it is not the only festive tree you’ll see growing in our low lying natural areas during the holidays. You may also be seeing dahoon holly. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Gardens Blog: A Cool Change
http://naplesgardensblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/cool-change.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2009. The garden is looking wonderful even though few eyes have seen its colors. Volunteers are back in the motions of stepping up plants for future areas, tending the various collections, and awaiting new tasks. The cool weather has nipped a few tropical plants while the vast majority has enjoyed a subtropical slowdown. Staff is enjoying the chilly days and slower weed germination as well. 8221; Raymond proclaimed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe To Gardens Blog.

Gardens Blog: March 2009
http://naplesgardensblog.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 27, 2009. Even though in other parts of the country people are still shivering, here in Southwest Florida spring has definitely arrived. If you have any plumeria in your yard (you may know them as "frangipani"), you may have noticed the tips of the branches glistening, and little "claws" starting to emerge. They are waking up from their winter dormancy and soon people will not be wondering anymore why you have those dead-looking sticks in your yard, but will marvel at the gorgeous blooms.
