This is the season for many plants such as aeoniums to send out flowers. This can make gardeners be quite sad. Why, you may ask? According toWikipedia, Monocarpic plants are those that flower and set seeds only once, and then die.
Have you noticed that there are recently a lot of large flies all over the place that look like over-sized mosquitos? I have seen these creatures before but never in such large quantities this early in the season.
Why is it that sometimes there are plants that you can't keep alive while at other times there are plants that you can not kill? This is a thought that runs through my head a lot as I work around my property.
