What a fun, fantastic presentation! I am glad that Amy was, if you will excuse the pun, bitten by the entomology bug! Entomology was one of my favorite classes in college and this makes me want to go out and keep track of all the different pollinators and insects on my plants. It also has me thinking about those flowers that rarely seem to see any action - daffodils, for example. One plant that I don’t remember being mentioned is our native cascara buckthorn, Frangula purshiana. When that tree/shrub blooms in our garden, it is abuzz with action. Thank you Amy for inspiring me to renew my interest in insects!
How old does the Scouler's willow have to be before it blooms? Mine is a baby (I just planted it from a 1 gallon last fall) and I'm wondering how long it will take for me to find out what the gender is.
