We grow native plants to contribute to a healthy landscape and ecosystem, which include the presence of arthropods—caterpillars, larvae, and mature insects, all of which have unique ecological roles. Many arthropods have evolved preferences and even requirements for particular plant species that serve as food and habitat. These plants are considered hosts. As growers of host species, we want to support both these creatures and the host plant. This leads to the question of how much herbivory—plan

The click beetle (Elateridae sp.) exploring the fleshy flower of umbrella magnolia (Magnolia tripetala) is enacting a ritual that evolved more than 95 million years ago. Magnolias emerged at about that time, making them among the first flowering plants on Earth. While dinosaurs roamed the planet then, bees did not yet exist, so magnolias evolved to be pollinated by more ancient insects: beetles. Over time, beetle pollination has influenced the form and even the scent of magnolia flowers. And to

It's GivingTuesday, and we are asking those who support New England native plants to help us create a rainwater-catchment system for Nasami Farm, our native plant nursery in western Massachusetts. Nasami Farm's small staff propagates thousands of native plants a year, many from wild-harvested seed. We sell some of these plants to the public to create backyard pollinator habitat and grow some for public agencies to restore damaged ecosystems. This is part of our mission to conserve and promote Ne

It is a matter of personal honor for all plant lovers to leave meadow bottle gentian (Gentiana clausa) undisturbed, if only to enjoy the struggle between pollinator and flower. (Besides, blue flowers like these are uncommon in our flora and are often the target of poachers.) The meadow bottle gentian has flowers that never open fully, requiring only the strongest of bumblebees to force their way in for the nectar and pollen. The challenge can be quite amusing to witness, just as the contented bu

The bell-shaped vermilion flowers of cardinal-flower (Lobelia cardinalis, a.k.a. red lobelia) are perfectly adapted to be pollinated by hummingbirds. Flower spikes reach three to six feet in height and bloom from bottom to top over a period of several weeks. Flowering in midsummer, cardinal-flower makes a dramatic addition to the native plant garden, and like its blue-flowering counterpart, Lobelia siphilitica, it often self-seeds to gift the gardener with new plants the next season. As this vid

Some years, called ‘mast’ years, nut trees produce a large number of seeds. You may notice it when hiking or walking in the woods and an acorn (or 10) drops on your head. The strategy is to overwhelm predators with a bounty to ensure that a small percentage of seeds will survive. This year we happened upon a lot of bitternut hickory (Carya cordiformis) seed at one of our regular collection sites. Although the sight of SO many seeds can heighten expectations, many seeds have already been invaded
