Here, at the beginning of 2022, some of us may resolve to make meaningful life changes. At midnight on December 31st, marketing campaigns switch from ‘indulge in holiday cheer’ to ‘new year, new you.’ For me, after the past two years, the wellness industry can keep their diets and gyms, and the self-help industry can sell their ‘ten-step program to be the best version of me’ to someone else. These days, I’m over here just trying to be.
I think that’s one of the things that I like about plants: Plants are seemingly all about the here and now, just being. If they’re in the right place, to borrow a borrowed phrase from a famous football coach around these parts, “they’re blooming where they’re planted.”
Plants have been around a long time. Scientists believe plants developed hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs. Dinosaurs roamed the earth hundreds of millions of years before humans, thus making plants wise elders in the history of our planet.
Plants are vital to us. They developed a neat trick called photosynthesis, in which they ‘eat’ light. Crazy, right? It starts with our closest star, the sun, located approximately 93,000,000 miles away from Earth, a star so enormous that 1,300,000 planet Earths could fit inside it. The sun blasts Earth with energy that plants absorb in visible light. Plants take up water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth’s soil and atmosphere. They then use that energy from the sun to break the chemical bonds of those substances, ‘reconfiguring’ carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms into sugar (CHO or carbohydrates) and oxygen (O2). Are sugar and oxygen created by plants through photosynthesis vital? I’d say. All Earth animals depend on them for survival.

What Is the Slow Flowers Movement? Learn About This New Trend
There’s an ugly truth behind those beautiful alstroemeria, dahlias, and roses we adore—80 percent of them are grown overseas and imported on gas-guzzling jets—often soaked in pesticides—despite the fact that they can be grown right here in the U.S. These blooms are often called “fresh” cut flowers, but they’re anything but.

ALB larvae are equally striking as the large, white segmented larvae can be nearly 2” in length (Fig. 2). Established populations in the U.S. are found in Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio, and a new infestation was recently found in Charleston County, South Carolina.
