• There’s been a flower show blooming in my yard the past few months

  29-06-2024 16:51 via ocregister.com
  
  For the last two months, I have been admiring the flower show provided by my yellow pride of Barbados (Caesalpinia pulcherrima flava). 
  The Latin name of this plant commemorates Andrea Caesalpino, a 16th-century Italian physician and botanist. Before the age of synthetically produced pharmaceuticals, medications came directly from plants. Thus, physicians were often botanists too since the sources for the medications they prescribed grew in the garden. Pulcherrima — the species name o

  SACRAMENTO – Both major American political camps are convinced that democracy is under attack by the other side, and they probably are both largely correct.

  Our democracy may be the equivalent of “two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner,” as one aphori

  Q. I’ve noticed this white substance on my majesty palm, which is an indoor plant. I wipe them off, but they keep coming back. What is it and how can I get rid of it?
  Cottony cushion scale is a common houseplant pest. It also appears on outdoor plants, particularly citrus. It is a soft-bodied sucking insect that likes to hang out near the base of leaf petioles or, in the case of palms, in the nooks and crannies of the growing tips. The body of the insect is orange-brown, but the large whit

  Last year, after Deb Jerikovsky’s husband died, she decided to swap the lake home where they planned to spend retirement for a house in the metro that’s closer to family.
  She put that plan on hold, however, once she realized 7% mortgage rates would force her to dip too deeply into her savings. Instead, she moved in with her daughter, hoping she’d eventually score a lower rate.
