essay: Late Blooming Flowers Feed Native Bees (Emily Haynes/The Outside Story/Northern Woodlands). Some bees to look for on asters, goldenrods, and mints in September and October in New England: Aster cellophane bee (Colletes compactus); autumnal cellophane-cuckoo (Epeolus autumnalis), which is a parasitic wild bee; neighborly nomad bee (Nomada vicina), another parasitic species in the cuckoo family; and hairy-banded mining bee (Andrena hirticincta), which is a goldenrod specialist. “When I find a bunch of nomads, it’s generally an indication of an abundant, diverse, stable host population.”

photo essay: The Storer House / FLW vs Terremoto (Mimi Zeiger/Caitlin Atkinson/Terremoto): California landscapers Terremoto “reimagined the landscape around a century old [1923] Frank Lloyd Wright residence in LA and … it’s gorgeous! And cool and ecological, political and historic” (via Rebecca McMackin). “Terremoto’s design for the Storer House proposes a contemporary garden for an urban Los Angeles that shares Wright’s sensibilities while presenting a microcosm of the conflicting beauty the city’s present-day landscape, in all its confounding ferality, indigenousness, and magical realism.”
