Vernal/Spring Equinox
The March Equinox is an annual celebration that occurs on March 20. In the Northern Hemisphere, the March Equinox is referred to as the vernal equinox. It marks the start of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the autumn season in the Southern Hemisphere. It marks the Sun’s crossing above the Earth’s equator, moving from south to north. Like all equinoxes, the March equinox is distinctive in that it has almost exactly the equal amount of daylight and nights across many latitudes of Earth.
History of March Equinox
Wherever you may be on Earth, the equinox brings us several seasonal effects which have been noticeable to nature lovers around the globe for years. The word ‘equinox’ originates from two Latin words: ‘aequus’ meaning equal and ‘nox’ meaning night. The literal meaning is ‘equal night.’ Our ancestors, who had far less precise timekeeping than we do, believed that night and day were equal. But today we know this is not true.
People have been celebrating the March Equinox for centuries and since it is associated with spring the festivals tend to celebrate fertility and agriculture. The Romans used this day to celebrate their goddess Cybele who has driven around in a chariot drawn by lions. Ancient Persia in roughly 550 B.C., celebrated the vernal equinox as Nowruz, their New Year. Modern Iranians still celebrate this time as their New Year. During the era of the Shang Dynasty, which ruled China from 1600 to 1046 B.C., it was believed that the spring equinox marked a mythic beginning, a type of ‘start of their line.’ Jews in the 12th Century believed that the spring equinox marked the day in the year in which the Biblical plague that turned Egypt’s water into blood occurred.
The festival of ‘Holi’ is the March equinox festival in India. This is celebrated in honor of various Hindu deities and legends. It signals the triumph of Good vs Evil, the most notable being the legend of Krishna and Rhada. Ancient cultures had great awareness of nature, the seasons, and the movement of the celestial bodies. Many built sites that had a glaringly obvious use: that of a calendar. These were often aligned to display shafts of sunlight during solstices and equinoxes. Examples of these are Chichen Itza in Mexico, Mnajdra Temples in Malta, and Stonehenge in England.

I’ve got big plans for the front yard. While I’m going to leave some lawn* in the backyard, the front will eventually be completely planted. First, I’m planting a mixed hedge along the foundation. I’m still deciding the exact mix of shrubs for the hedge but I’m currently thinking elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), rough dogwood (Cornus drummondii), American hazelnut (Corylus americana), prairie rose (Rosa arkansana), and maybe chokecherry (Prunus virginiana) or American plum (Prunus americana). Both chokecherry and American plum make me nervous because they tend to get really wide through suckers which might be too much for the area. I’m planting the shrubs half the maximum mature width away from a 3 ft wide pathway around the foundation to hopefully prevent any branches or roots touching the siding or foundation and to allow us to service the utilities in the area.
*By lawn, I mean stuff that looks mostly like grass and stays under 6” tall or can be mowed. I’m going to overseed the existing patchy turf with clover (Trifolium repens) and maybe some tiny native flowers if I can get my hands on some seeds. I’m specifically thinking about fetid marigold (Dyssodia paposa) and curlycup gumweed (Grindelia squarrosa).

Curlycup gumweed (Grindelia squarrosa) with bonus silverleaf nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium). The bracts at the base of the flower exude a sticky, fragrant resin. A decoction of the flower heads and buds have traditionally been used topically to treat poison ivy rashes and internally for upper respiratory complaints; it is apparently an effective natural expectorant.

Frozen Curlycup gumweed, followed by one of them in summer. And then a frosted window one winter.
The curlycups are underneath the drainpipe, which broke a while back, so the water just trickles straight down onto them.

Curlycup Gumweed; Rosinweed
Tumblr media
Scientific Name:  Grindelia squarrosa
Biennial or short-lived perennial; 12-36”; full sun or part shade; wide range of soils; drought tolerant
Description: Curlycup gumweed and its look-alike close relative subalpine gumweed (Grindelia subalpina) are cheerful, yellow-flowering biennial or short-lived perennial plants native to Northern Colorado and throughout the Rocky Mountain range. The subalpine species sticks to the western foothills and mountains, but curlycup’s distribution extends to most of North America. These gumweeds (also called rosinweed and tarweed) are attractive “weeds” that offer plenty of ecological and medicinal benefits. They are prolific reseeders, however, and their progeny sometimes needs to be edited from kept gardens. Specimens in the Demonstration Gardens at River’s Edge Natural Area in Loveland occur there naturally; none were deliberately seeded there or planted. Curlycup gumweed’s growth habit is quite shrubby, but it is a herbaceous plant, meaning its stems remain fleshy and don’t become woody. All above-ground plant parts are aromatic and covered with glands that ooze sap. Leaves are often found glistening in the ooze and the plant’s upright stems exude a sticky, milky sap when cut open. Beads of the gummy sap also accumulate on flower heads before they open. So it’s clear why it’s called gumweed. The “curlycup” part of the common name refers to the curling bracts all over the “cups” (involucres) enclosing the flower buds. These numerous, small, thin, curling bracts make the buds resemble burdock, but gumweed buds are not prickly at all. 
As a biennial, this plant normally has a two-year life cycle, but it sometimes lives only 1 year or, conversely, 3 or more years. Leaves of a plant in its first year are all basal (arising from the lowest part of the stem close to the ground). These basal leaves are simple and mostly oblong, 2”-4+” long and 0.25”-0.50” wide, with margins (edges) that can be smooth, deeply lobed, scalloped, or coarsely toothed with glandular tips. Leaves along later-developing upright stems are oblong to oblanceolate, 0.5”-3” long and <0.75” wide, with coarsely toothed margins, clasping leaf bases and no leaf stalks. These leaves are covered with glandular hairs on both surfaces, and arranged alternately on the stem. Leaves on flower-bearing stems are smaller than basal leaves. All leaves are aromatic and contain glands that secrete a sticky substance.
Sunshine-yellow flowers start opening in July for a lengthy bloom period that usually winds down in September, but can continue through October. The 1”-1.5” blooms are actually “composite” flowers, made up of a cluster of tiny yellow disc flowers and the yellow petalled ray flowers that surround them. Numerous tiny tubular disc florets form the flower’s compact circular “button” center, with the 0.5”-long petals of 20-40 ray florets encircling the center and radiating outward. The sepals are reduced to awned pappus. The ovary of each floret is inferior and is positioned below the point of sepal and petal attachment.  Each flower head is supported and enveloped by a hemispherical involucre “cup” composed of numerous green, reflexed (bending backward), glandular, imbricate (overlapping) bracts that secrete a sticky substance; involucres (cups) are 0.25”-0.50” in diameter. The receptacle of the involucre is naked and smooth. Several flower heads are arranged in clusters at the ends of branches. 
Fruits are smooth, cream to gray-colored, oblong, four-sided, and deeply ridged small achenes, approximately 0.125” in length.
Height:  1’ - 3’
Spread/Spacing:  18-24”; space or thin to 3 feet apart
Exposure: Full sun to partial sun for several hours each day.
Soil Tolerance: Grows in a wide range of soils in open sunny areas. Common in disturbed areas with sandy, rocky, or gravelly soils, but also grows well in silty clay loam or sandy loam.
Soil Moisture: Moderately dry to very dry. Plant will tolerate periods of drought.
Water: Low. Rarely requires irrigation. Established plants will tolerate prolonged drought.
Bloom:  July-October; bright sunshine yellow 
Value to Pollinators:  Highly attractive to many native bee species, catering to some 40 genera, according to a 2016 ARS Bee Research Laboratory report. For example, this plant provides nectar and pollen to native Agapostemon species (green metallic sweat bees), Megachile species (leafcutter bees), and Melissodes species (long-horned bees). It also serves the non-native Apis mellifera (honey bee), though it’s felt it yields inferior-tasting honey. Many species of butterflies are also attracted to gumweed.
Deer & Rabbit Resistance: Yes
Where they like to Grow: Disturbed areas, alluvial grounds, overgrazed prairies, pastures, rangelands, roadsides, sometimes forming large patches. Very common in dry open places at elevations ranging from 3,500’ to 8,500’. Disturbed ground is their favorite territory. Often joins cheatgrass in vegetating disturbed areas. (It’s no wonder gumweed took up residence in the demonstration gardens at River’s Edge Natural Area as we were digging up and replanting those areas.) 
Other Interesting Notes: Throughout the ages, people have reportedly chewed the resinous sap collected from leaves and flowerheads like gum. Fruits are consumed by some birds; this plant has been observed to be a minor source of forage for sage-grouse chicks. It is otherwise considered undesirable forage and is unpalatable to livestock. The people of many Native American nations used this plant to make healing solutions, ointments, and poultices; tea for relief from asthma, cough, and tuberculosis; and brooms fashioned from stems stripped of their leaves. These peoples knew the medicinal value of this plant. Teas were made from the resinous flowerheads and from the leaves. The flowerhead tea was taken to relieve indigestion, colic, and stomachaches. The leaf tea was a useful antispasmodic for dry, hacking coughs, and was therefore used to treat throat and lung problems such as coughs, bronchitis, and asthma. They used a tincture made from flowerheads in treating bladder and urethra infections, and applied gumweed-based teas and tinctures topically to heal minor cuts, abrasions, and pimples. Flowerhead tinctures or crushed-flowerhead poultices were used to soothe and heal skin irritations such as those caused by poison ivy and poison oak.

方舟子 @fangshimin · May 28 “双重犯罪”是指外国提出引渡的罪名在加拿大也必须被认为是犯罪才能引渡。孟女士的律师提出的辩护理由是,违反美国对伊朗的制裁在加拿大不是犯罪,因此孟女士欺骗汇丰银行导致汇丰银行被美国政府罚款10亿美元在加拿大也不能算是金融欺诈罪。这种理由当然糊弄不了法官。

方舟子 @fangshimin · May 28 挪威公共卫生部门追溯了“封城”前后新冠病毒的传播情况,认为在“封城”前病毒的传染数已降低到接近1,“封城”并无必要,只是增加重大社会成本,学校停学对小孩的伤害尤其大。都是被英国帝国理工的预测给吓的。等冬天第二波疫情来袭,挪威可能就不会再“封城”了。 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZKfGFTU4AUCf3Y?format=jpg&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZKfGFWUEAElTBY?format=jpg&name=small

方舟子 @fangshimin · May 29 如果美国政府认为香港是“一国一制”,把香港和中国其他城市一样对待,那么从香港去美国不能免签证,港币和美元不能自由兑换,从香港出口美国的商品要征收关税,美国敏感技术不能出口香港……香港和中国城市就没什么区别,跨国公司甚至中国公司也就没必要把亚洲总部设在香港了。

方舟子 @fangshimin · May 30 佛洛依德的家属希望指控跪杀的白人警察一级谋杀,但即使这么起诉也没法说服陪审团警察是有预谋杀人。二级谋杀是临时起意故意杀人或实施重罪时致死,也不容易证明。在别的州该案只能指控误杀,明州有三级谋杀罪,没有杀人的故意,但道德败坏,无视生命,明知危险行为能致人死亡仍然实施,正适合这个案件 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZTEHT1UcAAsj2H?format=jpg&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZTEHT0U8AA0HR2?format=jpg&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZTEHT1UcAAsj2H?format=jpg&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZTEHUDUYAAdf9A?format=jpg&name=360x360
方舟子 @fangshimin 三级谋杀最高判25年。警察另外被指控二级误杀罪,最高判10年。如果在视频传出后立即指控,就不至于扩大事态。也幸好现在是智能手机时代人人可录视频,以前多少黑人被警察杀害就只有警察一面之词,放过了。当然,即使有视频,华人川粉仍然要为警察辩护,造谣说佛洛依德死于吸毒,与滥用警力无关。

方舟子 @fangshimin · May 30 你家出的解剖报告说是吸毒?官方的尸检报告的初步结论说死因是警察遏制、心血管病和可能的致醉物质(一般指酒精)的联合作用。什么样的人渣会制造和传播吸毒致死这种谣言?什么样的脑子会把“华人川粉”理解成“华人和川粉”?
方舟子 @fangshimin · May 30 官方的尸检报告的初步结论说佛洛依德的死因不是窒息,是警察遏制、心血管病和可能的致醉物质(一般指酒精)的联合作用。种族主义者就制造和传播吸毒致死的谣言。跪压脖子9分钟不至于让人窒息,但压迫颈动脉仍会让人死亡,特别是心血管病患者。在发现佛洛依德没脉搏后三名警察继续跪压了3分钟。 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZTXK4_VcAI4yV3?format=jpg&name=900x900 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZTXK4_UMAAYkyC?format=jpg&name=small

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, UT (No. 2)
The monument stretches from the towns of Big Water, Glendale, and Kanab, Utah in the southwest to the towns of Escalante and Boulder in the northeast. The monument is slightly larger in area than the state of Delaware. After a reduction ordered by presidential proclamation in December 2017, the monument encompassed 1,003,863 acres (4,062 km2), but it was restored to 1,870,000 acres (7,568 km2) in 2021.Willis Creek in the Grand Staircase
The western part of the monument is dominated by the Paunsaugunt Plateau and the Paria River, and is adjacent to Bryce Canyon National Park. This section shows the geologic progression of the Grand Staircase. Features include the slot canyons of Bull Valley Gorge, Willis Creek, and Lick Wash which are accessed from Skutumpah Road.

Broom Snakeweed
Tumblr media
Scientific Name:  Gutierrezia sarothrae
Perennial; 8-30”; full sun; sand, gravel, or clay; drought tolerant
Description: Broom snakeweed (also called Broomweed) is a late-blooming subshrub with little yellow flower heads clustered at the top of a mounding, bushy, green plant. It is especially noticeable in late-summer and fall when its greenish stems and bright yellow blooms stand out against largely browning surroundings. It looks like a smaller version of rabbitbrush and these two species are often seen growing alongside each other. Like rabbitbrush, its stems are covered with very thin leaves and it remains attractive through the winter, hanging onto its dried flower heads. Unlike rabbitbrush, however, snakeweed’s stiff, thin stems die off in the winter and new growth emerges from the basal crown in the spring. The winter die-off of the top growth makes the shrubs look like brooms, which is believed to be part of the inspiration for some of its common names. As further inspiration, the plant has for centuries been used by Native American tribes, pioneers, and resourceful DIY-ers to make brooms. The “snakeweed” moniker comes from Native American tribes’ historically using this plant to concoct a treatment for snakebites. Native Americans also made a tonic for indigestion from this plant. Though an attractive plant, snakeweed is considered a noxious invasive species by ranchers because it crowds out important forage grasses and, at certain growth stages, it can be toxic to domestic sheep, goats, and cattle. Where livestock don’t graze, it makes for a cheerful, nicely shaped, pollinator-friendly addition to a garden or landscape. This is a short-lived perennial that usually lives 3-7 years. Sometimes the plants live much longer, with some documented specimens in Utah having survived up to 20 years. 
Height: 8-30”
Spread/Spacing: 18” / plant 24” apart
Exposure: full sun 
Soil Tolerances: Adaptable to a wide range of well-drained soil types: sandy, gravelly, loamy clay, clay, or even heavy clay.
Soil Moisture: dry, well-drained
Water: low; strong drought tolerance; water occasionally the first year or until established
Bloom: July - October (in Colorado); bright, clear yellow
Pollinator value: Serves and is pollinated by multiple insect species. 
Deer & Rabbit Resistance: No, but infrequently bothered and tolerates browsing. Eaten by pronghorn and bison, and infrequently browsed by deer. Birds and small mammals eat the seeds. 
Where they like to grow: Along mountain slopes and ridge tops, dry foothills, rocky plains and semi-desert areas. This plant is often seen growing in alluvial slopes or rocky areas. Often found in plant communities among fringed sage, rabbitbrush, western wheatgrass, cheatgrass (a non-native invasive), and curlycup gumweed -- all of which you’ll find growing at River’s Edge Natural Area.
Cultivation Notes: Shrubs usually take on a perfectly round, mounded shape on their own. Leave dead stems with flower heads standing over winter to add interest and feed birds and small mammals. Cut back the dead, brittle previous year’s growth in early spring before new growth emerges from the shrub base. Broom snakeweed does have a long taproot. It can be successfully transplanted, however, at a very young stage when the root is just a few inches long. It is propagated mostly from windblown seeds, and will likely reseed itself in bare soil or disturbed areas it finds in your yard. Seeds need to ripen 4-6 months and will germinate during the cool season (early spring). They need light to germinate, so press seeds onto the surface of the soil or just lightly scratch them in.
