PLANT PROFILES: Monarch butterfly. The Monarch will lay its white egg on the plant leaf so the caterpillar will have a source of food when it Asclepias AKA Milkweed hatches. By Karen Kennen, Master Gardener Volunteer (MGV) There are two milkweeds most often sold as butterfly garden : Asclepiss tuberosa (butterfly-weed) and Asclepias currassavica (Scarlet or tropical milkweed). Tropical milkweed is a non-native with red, orange, and yellow blooms. Research has found a possible correlation between this milkweed and ophryocystis elktroscirrha (OE), a parasite causing deformed wings. Another problem with this milkweed is that year round blooming may keep monarchs from mi- grating. The University of FL recommends cutting it to the ground in the fall to encourage migration. Asclepias tuberosa is a native milkweed with orange or yellow Asclepias, commonly known as Milkweed, is a blooms that appear in the late summer or early fall.

Fertilizers—Do they have an expiration?

Our Plant Clinic lead MGV, Sandra Bryan, was asked this very question when a homeowner called the Plant Clinic about her old bag of fertilizer. This is what Sandra found out and told the client: Liquid fertilizer is generally good for 8-10 years. Dry fertilizer is effective indefinitely unless it contains an herbicide or insecticide, then it is only good for approximately 4 years.

FEATURE MASTER GARDENER VOLUNTEER: SUSAN FOLLICK

Susan has been gardening in Central Florida for 25 years after many years gardening in Ohio. She’s been a Master Gardener Volunteer for 5 years and was the Co-Lead in the Greenhouse until leading the new Butterfly Garden. An avid butterfly gardener, she turned her entire backyard into a butterfly habitat in the last few years and enjoys watch- ing the butterfly lifecycle happen day-to-day. The habitat is also home to other pollinators; hummingbirds, bees, along with many other species of birds. Susan is married to Jack, who loves to dig holes in the garden, so she can plant new species of native and non-native plants for pollinators.

FLORIDA FABLES: BATS...FEAR OR REVERE? By MGV, Reggie D Quick facts: Less than 1% of the bat population carries rabies, so it’s highly unlikely to contract rabies from a bat. Excess guano, however, can produce fungus, zoonotic bacteria (possible MRSA link), Hendra virus, and other unhealthy air pollutants that affect humans – albeit the number of infections are very low. There must be a large quantity of guano for this to be detrimental. Bats are also pollinators! Roosting season is Apr-Aug, so be sure to patch up any possible entrances into your home before April.

HELIOTROPIUM ANGIOSPERMUM

By Cathy Leavers, Master Gardener Volunteer

Scorpion-tail (Heliotropium angiospermum) is a member of the Borage or forget-me-not fami- ly (Boraginaceae). This plant is native to coastal uplands but does well in a cultivated garden. This native plant has tiny flowers that produce a lot of nectar which attracts skippers and oth- er small butterflies as well as an assortment of other insects. Scorpion-tail is named for its curvy spikes of small white flowers. In nature, this plant grows in rough, dry areas, primarily coastal uplands, and is an unassuming, weedy-looking plant with flowers that are too few to attract notice. However, when planted in a garden and given some care it becomes a lovely specimen. It displays deep green, shiny leaves with conspicuous veins. The flowers are more abundant under cultivation and bloom the entire year except during extremely dry or cold conditions. This plant prefers well drained, sandy soil that is not too acidic. It tends to grow out rather than up and may need trimming to keep it from en- croaching on neighboring plants. It can grow to a height of about 3 feet and a width of about 4 feet. It grows well in sun to part shade and is drought tolerant. You can give it some slow release fertilizer when planted and a liquid fertilizer from time to time, but I have seldom fer- tilized mine and it does just fine. The scorpion-tail is a rather short-lived plant that may need to be replaced every few years. However, it does produce its own seedlings, so replacing it should not be a problem. I have heard some people complain about this aspect of the plant, but I have not noticed this prob- lem in my garden and the plantlets are easy to pull out if you get too many. They can also be propagated by seed or cuttings. So, for a low maintenance plant which will attract pollinators to your garden, try the Scorpion -tail. You should be able to find one at a native plant nursery or at the MGV plant sale March 23, 2020, at Discovery Gardens. Sources: A Gardener's Guide to Florida's Native Plants by Rufino Osorio.

A new termite species in the United Photo: B. L. Thorne, UF/IFAS States could be anywhere in the country, but only two populations have been identified in Broward County to date. The invasive species, Nasutitermes corniger, entered the country through a Delray Beach marina in 2018. The State of Florida Agricultural & Con- sumer Services Dept. is making a concerted effort to inform all stakeholders, i.e. pest companies, landscap- ing companies, commercial properties, Extension, Mas- ter Gardeners, and homeowners, to bring awareness and keep track of the exotic spe- cies' path. The soldier termites have a brown conehead, which looks more to me like a Hershey's chocolate kiss or the trending poop emoji, but they are easily identifiable. The soldier termites protect their colonies from ants, lizards, and other termite species, by shooting a sap substance from their cones into their predator's face. Conehead termites eat and destroy live & dead trees, shrubs, plants, grass, wood structures, furniture, & paper products.

Invasive: Cuban Tree Frogs

This article is from the Dept. of Wildlife Ecology & Conservation website: Florida is also home to several native treefrogs, but there is one that is invasive: Cuban Treefrog “The Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) is native to Cuba, the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas. These treefrogs were accidentally brought to Florida in the 1920s, probably as hitchhikers in cargo containers on ships. Cuban Treefrogs (CTFs) are considered invasive in Florida (and other tropical areas) because they are likely to harm our native ecosystems and also cause a lot of problems for humans. CTFs eat at least five different species of native frogs, not to mention the occasional lizard or small snake, and their tadpoles compete with native tadpoles for space and food. CTFs are common in urban areas, where they hang out near lights on the walls of houses and catch insects. They often poop on walls and windows (leaving ugly stains), take over birdhouses, and lay eggs in fish ponds and bird baths. They’re also know to cause shorts in utility boxes.

Our native treefrogs are all much smaller. Read more: Invasive Cuban treefrogs | Cuban Treefrogs | EDIS WEC218 | Cuban treefrogs | Report the presence of CTFs, [email protected]
