Sharing Healing Powers through Nature Systematics. Read below about my field recording adventures, experimentations with nature art, and about our attempts to grow terpene-rich hemp flowers in a sustainable and organic manner (IPM), how nature immersion helps me manage my aortic dissection and kidney cancer, about green roofs I've designed over the years and much more life fun.

Choosing Plants for Green Roofs - The Season for Sedums to Die in Florida
Tis the season for some sedums to go dormant in Florida....
We have had a month of drought. The days are becoming shorter and shorter. The winds are brisk and desiccating. Temperatures have ranged from 60 to 80 degrees F during the day and 30 to 60 degrees F at night.
We have had three light to medium frosts.
Too much for some of the sedums...
The alliums are turning brown on top too - the brown curly cues typical of drought.
The Florida climate is the biggest drawback to using sedums on Green Roofs - at least don't count on the succulents being your prime plant...
They usually come back out in the spring.
Happy green roofing!
