Life in the prairie in the middle of winter is fairly uneventful; at least for humans who focus primarily on life above ground. However, it is a good time of year to reflect on the diversity and appreciate the importance of life below ground. Learn more: chgobg.org/3s0rIho

Answer: Magnolias flowers are big because they are pollinated by beetles, which need room to maneuver. Magnolias need beetles because they were among the earliest flowering plants, evolving at least 95 million years ago, before there were bees.

Our area is bracing for a lot of #ice. Our Plant Clinic advises homeowners refrain from removing ice from branches this may do more damage. If you do have broken limbs hanging from a tree, remove as soon as possible. Bring in a professional for large branches or those high up.
