Medford's Electrical Boxes Are Now Covered With Plants And Animals Of The Mystic River Watershed - WBUR

Axolotl,” a salamander swims amid fast-food soda cups and harmful plastic bottles. In “Borderlands,” walls at the U.S.-Mexico border prevent the Sonoran Pronghorn from migrating and breeding with its Mexican sister population, further threatening the endangered animal. In her mural work, she tries to “bring nature into spaces [where] we've kind of forgotten about it,” she explains.Artist Sophy Tuttle in front of her painting "Red Fox & Blue Wood Aster." (Robin Lubbock/WBUR)Sophy Tuttle's "Red Fox & Blue Wood Aster." (Robin Lubbock/WBUR)For this series on Medford's electrical boxes, she wanted to draw attention to the Mystic River — a body of water just a block away from the town center that could often be ignored. Tuttle talks about the 60% decline in the world’s populations of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians in the last 40 years. She says that “re-imagining future possibilities ... re-imagining our relationship with nature and the way that we treat the world” is paramount for her. As cars whiz by in the bustling center, the paintings invite viewers to linger, even if it’s just for a moment.There’s no overt climate change messaging or call to action in the imagery. But curious viewers who follow Tuttle on Instagram will see tidbits about the animals and plants that provide more context. For instance, in the caption for a photo of "Green Darner Dragonfly and Oyster Mushrooms," Tuttle writes “Research suggests mushrooms can convert pesticides and herbicides to more innocuous compounds, remove heavy metals from brownfield sites, and break down plastic. They have even been used to remove and recover heavy metals from contaminated water.” In another post, she shares that monarch butterflies depend on milkweed for their survival and urges readers to plant some to bolster their numbers.Sophy Tuttle's "Monarch Butterfly & Milkweed" on Governors Avenue in Medford. (Robin Lubbock/WBUR)It took nearly three months for Tuttle, with the help of her friend and artist Amanda Hill (who helped with foundational and pattern work for eight of the 10), to paint and varnish all the boxes. The project was funded by The Medford Arts Council, Creature Conserve and The Awesome Foundation. Before Tuttle put paint to brush, she worked with the My...

Spring flowers: Here's where to see the best blooms in Phoenix - AZCentral

The flowers of the Sonoran Desert are a splash of color and passion. While almost entirely absent last year, they are out in force this season. This is a time to revel in satiny sun and balmy breezes and go looking for them. It’s a show you don’t want to miss. Here are some places around Phoenix to admire those soft, ground-level fireworks. First, let’s establish a few rules so everyone can enjoy this season’s bounty. 1. Don’t pick wildflowers. They won’t last long enough to see a vase. They’ll die very soon after being plucked and then all their hard work of sprouting, growing and blooming was for naught. Leave them for others to enjoy. 2. Stay on trails and watch where you step. There could be small seedlings all around. And for goodness' sake, do not wade out into a field and trample the flowers, thus ruining them for everyone, just so you can snag a selfie. Take all photos from the pathways. 3. Don't dawdle. Peak colors at any one location may last from a few days to two weeks. If you hear about a wildflower bonanza, track it down. The beauty may be ephemeral but your memories will last for years. White Tank Mountain Regional Park Some of the western Maricop...

100 years ago in Spokane: Founder of Father's Day among those opposed to hanging murderer on downtown post ...

Mrs. John Bruce Dodd. She was already famous under her actual name — Sonora Smart Dodd — as the founder of Father’s Day. A boy’s chorus under the leadership of Rev. H.E.K. Whitney also took up the cause, and began circulating petitions in protest of the hanging. The boys were protesting not just the proposed site of the hanging, but also the death penalty itself.As it turned out, the protest would succeed in only one of its goals. The hanging would in fact be carried out on April 19 – but not on the post office roof. It would take place at Fort George Wright.From the pioneer beat: James N. Glover, “the father of Spokane,” wrote the first part of a multipart memoir about his early-day experiences in the region.Here’s how he described his first glimpse of the Spokane Valley, in May 1873: “The beautiful view that revealed itself to my eyes was more entrancing than I had ever beheld. The valley, filled with sunflowers, looked like a field of gold.”By “sunflowers,” he undoubtedly meant arrow-leaved balsamroot, whose showy yellow flowers cover this region in April and May.

Meet Morgan Anderson, Flori.Culture's Self-Described 'Flower Nerd'

I’ll put it next to a hydrangea, or a tulip. A peony from Alaska, next to a succulent or a barrel cactus from the Sonoran Desert.”EXPANDA Flori.Culture arrangement.Deegan LemieuxFlowers are great to look at, to be sure. But there’s more to them than just smelling nice and being pretty, says Anderson. She thinks of flowers as a gateway to visual art and cultural history.“Egyptians were the first to use flowers for ceremonial purposes,” she says, a little apologetically, clearly used to being the only one in the room who cares about the deeper meaning of a mum. “Every flower has its own history — how it was used in medicinal ways, what its meaning was in ancient cultures, how it shows up symbolically in art history.”Much to Anderson’s surprise, she’s not the only flower nerd out there. Her floral-scented dance card is full with clients who are as passionate about the history of hyacinths as she is. “I didn’t set out to conquer Phoenix,” she says, “but I admit that I’m more interested in educating than I am in making the perfect bridal bouquet. Finding all these likeminded people was a surprise.”She’s been making plenty of those bridal bouquets, too. When she’s not writing client proposals or designing daffodil installations, Anderson is stumping for the slow flower movement, a concept she’s hoping to grow here in Arizona by working with flower farms in northern Arizona and teaching classes on slow flowering. It’s a movement that promotes locally grown blooms and bouquets in place of the chemical-infused arrangements flown in from other parts of the world.“Yes,” Anderson admits, “we’d all like for our arrangements to last for two weeks. But this global market of cut flowers isn’t helping our own local economy.”Arizona, she says, is a bit behind in embracing this movement, in part because of our arid climate, not great for growing a lot of different species of flower. Anderson won’t consider her work done until people understand that a bouquet from the grocery store lasts for weeks because it’s full of nasty chemicals that can harm the environment as well as the consumer.“Americans tend to think we’ve gotten a good bouquet if it lasts longer,” she sighs. “And who wouldn’t want a two-week flower arrangement? But it’s lasting that long because it’s been preserved by chemicals, like a silver thiosulfate dip, which is bad for the environment. And, you know, you’re breathing silver thiosulfate because it’s in your home, and that’s not good, either.”We can, Anderson believes, learn to love a flower that dies in a few days. “It’s a way of teaching ourselves to appreciate what we have, while we have it. If a peony only lasts two days, hey, it was beautiful in those two days. Life is precious and fleeting, kind of like a flower.”... (Phoenix New Times)

A city canyon with a great variety of native plants

The rocks originated in Sonora, Mexico, traveling northwest approximately one inch a year. The trail surface randomly changes between shredded bark and dirt with one section bordered by cobbles. Toward the end there are three members of the sumac family within touching distance, making it a good place to note the differences between lemonadeberry, laurel sumac, and sugar bush, which is normally at a higher elevation. The hike turn-around point is just below Cedar Street, where there’s private property and a steep rise of greater than 25 percent of easily eroded marine terraces that are characteristic of the coastal plain region. 32nd Street Canyon Open Space Distance from downtown San Diego: approximately 3.1 miles. Allow 14 minutes driving time (Golden Hill). Head east on Broadway then left onto 13th Street. Turn right onto C Street for about 1.7 miles with the entrance on the left (Golden Hill Elementary School is too far). The trailhead is wide with light bark and two posts. Street parking only. Hiking length: approximately 1 mile out and back. Difficulty: Easy, with elevation gain/loss of 200 ft. Dogs allowed on leashes. No facilities. (San Diego Reader)

So far, so good for Southern Arizona's wildflower prospects

Mark Dimmitt, a wildflower expert and retired director of natural history at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. “Normally December is too late to start a good wildflower bloom, but it has happened if the winter was very warm,” Dimmitt said. “So far that’s been the case, so if it holds and we get another couple of good rains, we could have a good flowering of spring annuals. I think that most of the perennials have had enough rain to ensure a good bloom in the Tucson Mountains.” Meg Quinn, author of “Wildflowers of the Desert Southwest,” predicted that the bloom could be “average or good in some areas.” “I’ve seen a surprising number of annuals germinating on the Sweetwater Preserve trails on the east side of the Tucson Mountains,” Quinn said. Others, including Erik Rakestraw, a horticulturist at the Desert Museum, noted that the wildflower bloom is “pretty unpredictable” and that it’s “a little early to tell.” “However, that being said, the herbaceous perennials and small shrubs will probably bloom,” Rakestraw said. “It will probably be a good year for brittlebush and fairy dusters.” FIND SOME BLOOMS Don’t expect to see more than a few scattered wildflowers until February and March. Once the bloom takes shape in late winter and spring, here are some spots where you’re likely to fin... (Arizona Daily Star)
