Love all your info, your dedication and your inspiration - thank you! Our property & plantings are on the map. It's a never-ending joy... planting, caring for and encouraging native plants. Birds & pollinators all noticeably benefitting over the years of restorations.

As Joan Baez said, "Action is the antidote to despair." Great video. On the map in upstate NY!

Great video! Thanks so much!

My loblolly was 18 inches tall in June 2023 when I planted it but is now 5-5.5 feet tall 😳👏🤗

frick yeah

Bro theres a graveyard in the background 😢

She showed a flytrap. I was not aware that the Venus Flytrap was found in that location.

Thanks for teaching me new. In this case the etymology of gymnospern. Looking forward to the next one!

no Dam no problem. Lets Go!

People from the hospital are walking on the pesticide grass... if pesticides affect plants that way, surely they affect people the same way. Interesting

that's why i rather grow native milkweeds cause of oe against the monarch, except native milkweeds aren't not available as much, i have a lot of the aquatic milkweed which stays in bloom & doesn't die back either, i guess that's why the monarchs stay in florida too cause of the aquatic milkweed, since those don't die back as the other native milkweeds in florida, cause i see the aquatic milkweed here in sebring & throughout florida blooming growing yearly

waiting for the next two terms :/

We had deed restrictions here in Compass Lake in the Hills, NW FL about only stick house 1K SF homes could be built & our County BOCC changed the ordinance, against OUR commissioner & constituents wishes. Now we're gonna be a huge mobile home park & losing our home values. 😢 SO disheartening.

Thanks for sharing this lunch and learn so quickly. I missed the on-time notification for it somehow and really wanted to participate! Almost as good.

Monoculture is so toxic to our environment I hate it

What we take in Conservation class, I love relearning it

Interesting!In Marine Sciences we learnt that Otter is a keystone species if they dissappear they cant keep the tabs on the Sea urchins and kelp would be destroyed

Thanks helped in my hw

I have some of these on my property in Frostproof! Happy to learn a little something about them. Thanks for your video

Wow!! What a nice job preserving that taproot! That’s no easy feat in the Florida sun! Any idea if the plant transplanted successfully?

A positive outcome of a garden being damaged by hurricanes is that plants that were previously starved of light by more aggressive plants all of a sudden have a chance to really grow. I can't say how many times I've planted something, it was grown over by other plants and forgotten, then see it a few years later after a hurricane. It's like getting a Christmas gift!

*thumbsup* 4 people serving 23 million, Thanks for your efforts 😅 😊

That is THE spot right there

Such a great vid! So glad y’all chained yourselves to the tree! I was wondering if u know if a way to “clean” fallen airplants but I find so many but people keep feeling me they r full of mites and same w Spanish moss:/ I HATE to throw them away/ it’s torturing me:/ help lol pls. Thank u so much!

Thank u mam I was looking for someone to explain this concept and you are the one ❤

I have bought many plants because of Karina. She deserves a commission, this is such a wealth of information. I am just a nurse, who realized that Florida is getting killed via development, thanks for having this info for the average person

Excellent info! Our neighborhood sustained less roof damaged than newer neighborhoods because we have huge live oak trees lining our properties.

I just bought this. I’m super excited to plant it.

Pandora 😂

Love these videos, thanks so much!

Awesomeness

One of my favorite natives. Pollinators love it too. I also appreciate your videos

Great video, love Dotted Horsemint. Thanks so much!

The way they flow up the stem is so pretty.

I'm trying to find the I think it's called wacky lettuce weed and it's a natural form of pain reliever. I have stage 4 cancer and I can't stand the medicine they give us It just makes more issues. I live in Florida but where can I find that lettuce ?

I just heard about this plant on NPR from a Macon Georgia invasive plant removal to protect this species.

Milkweed is my favorite plant in the world. This is my first time learning aquatic milkweed exists!

very well said. beautifully discribed as well.

is that a Clitoria sp? Looks like the ones we get here in SE Texas

Thank you for being you! Santore led me here.... Great teaching. Even if I am in California .

Nice clear explanation. Thanks

Where can I find these growing wild around Jacksonville??

Excellent video. Despite it being one of the rarest, scrubs have historically been the easiest and first ecosystems to be developed since they are usually high and dry there is usually no wetland mitigation required and it is very easy to bulldoze the vegetation so shallowly rooted in deep sand. Right now in Volusia county the developers are wiping scrub land off the map, acre by acre. Sad that more isn't being protected or that there isn't some sort of regulations in place that prevents them from flattening every living thing out of existence before building. Most of what's left will be gone before you know it.

Learned a boat load in such a short video. Education is key! 👍

Does FNPS publish lists of political candidates that support our cause? Or suggest where to look, don't know the credentials of all the candidates and would not want to put an elected official who has an investor/ developers backrground into office.

I think I heard on Wuft the Withlacoochee sandhill area might be used for housing by the Cabot Company. Wow. My reps: Chuck Clemons HB 781? Keith Perry voted against it? They are both termed out I think. Thank you so much for this presentation. We fought to preserve Paines Prairie and the Cattle Fiasco, The Tollroad for Disney. Now this! Vote Blue!

The golf course in Jonathan Dickinson would severely impact the rare Rosemary scrub habitat, scrub jays and scrub lizards. I am sure impact studies were not done yet. Glad somebody at DEP leaked this.

right on!....Fight for the Wild!!!!.....keep the state parks wild...email the governor and legislatures!!!

❤❤

Thanks for posting about this issue.
