Featured Plant —
Bush-Snapdragon - Galvezia
The hummingbirds start to show up in abundance during the transition period between spring and summer. If you have Island Snapdragon (Galvezia) in your garden, you will see a hummingbird just about every time you look.
With its bright red flowers and lime green foliage, Galvezia speciosa (Island Bush-Snapdragon) is one of the happiest plants in the landscape. Galvezia likes full sun or part shade, and since it is native on California’s channel islands, will not tolerate severe frost. It is a woody perennial that mounds up to about three feet in height and spreads to about five feet. On a slope, it will sprawl out and stay lower. Galvezia is ideally suited for pots or hanging baskets. It grows fast and takes any kind of pruning (for shaping) and will not require much maintenance. It blooms spring, summer and fall, most prolifically in the spring. The tubular shaped flowers make it a hummingbird’s favorite!

Case Study:
The Acorn Naturalists, Tustin CA
Jennifer and Martin Rigby, owners of Acorn Naturalists, are visionaries indeed. Years ago they began a small business providing much-needed outdoor educational supplies for teachers. Beginning with a 32-page catalog for items available through mail order, their catalog is now over 200 pages and filled with ‘resources for the trail and classroom’. In addition to Acorn Naturalists, the dynamic duo also provides consulting services for interpretive master planning in parks, aquariums, and museums through the distinguished consulting division of The Acorn Group.
