#DYK Most clover species in Florida are not native? One way to keep your landscape green & avoid green waters is to plant native plants! Grass clippings & leaves flow into waterways which cause algae blooms & fish kills. Skip the fertilizer & plant native! #FloodplainFriday

"Destructive defoliators" or not...we're Lubbers, not haters. Why? Because again today a hungry Loggerhead Shrike visited the landscape. Perhaps tolerance will promote control along with the pure joy of witnessing our amazing feathered friends.
