Oriental Beetle

There are a few grubs that are eating Molinia, and after looking at raster patterns we’ve identified them as Exomala orientalis (Oriental beetle) – basically, you look at the grub’s butt to determine what it is.

Other than that, I’ve helped teach a group of school kids how to divide and pot plants, buried some irrigation hose, weeded, added bed protection and moved some Molinia.

A few plants I’ve learned: Carex pensylvanica is in bloom right now; Agastache foeniculum, Aster tataricus, Molinia caerulea ‘Transparent’ & M. caerulea ‘Moorhexe’
