This is my second Dwarf, and I think it's a lot scarier, even despicable
Well our bamboo that was butchered by our FIRED yard maintenance guys, survived the experience and are as beautiful as ever this winter just 4 months later. Have no regrets whatsoever hiring other folks who know a lot more about yard and plant maintenance and proper trimming. Old addage: you get what you pay for. We pay a bit more and get a world's difference in the services provided.
Betula nana, the dwarf birch, is a species of birch in the family Betulaceae, found mainly in the tundra of the Arctic region.
It is a monoecious shrub growing up to 1–1.2 m high. The bark is non-peeling and shiny red-copper colored. The leaves are rounded, 6–20 mm diameter, with a bluntly toothed margin. The leaves are a darker green on their upper surface. Leaf growth occurs after snow melt and become red in autumn. The wind-pollinated fruiting catkins are erect, 5–15 mm long and 4–10 mm broad.
Betula nana is native to arctic and cool temperate regions of Greenland, Iceland,northern Europe, northern Asia and northern North America and it will grow in a variety of conditions. It can be found in Greenland, Iceland. Outside of far northern areas, it is usually found growing only in mountains above 300 m, up to 835 m in Scotland and 2200 m in the Alps. Its eastern range limit is on Svalbard, where it is confined to warm sites.
In general, it favors wet but well drained sites with a nutrient poor, acidic soil which can be xeric and rocky. B. nana has a low tolerance for shade.
Trimma tevegae. These small gobies hover upside-down under rock overhangs, sometime s groups of up to 100 at once. There are clearly different sizes in these groups. I believe it is the desire to pick food off the overhang ceiling that makes them hover in this unusual position.
I love the iridescent colors on the fins in this photograph.
