March Breeze

March Memories 

Family: Lamiaceae
Subfamily: Lamioideae
Tribe: Stachydeae
Genus: Stachys
Species: Stachys fontqueri

I really couldn’t find out much about this plant that grows in our yard and all around in our region, at least.  It is in the mint family and goes by several different names, one being “heal-all”, so I am wondering if it once was used as a healing method.

Photo taken at Save-a-Buck when Ilene and I went there to shop, but it was closed.  Open Thurs - Saturday

March

Spring awakens the world with warmth, color, and new beginnings. A season of fresh air, blooming flowers, and moments filled with light and hope.

Ilene discovered this bird nest on the wire shelving on her deck right outside her back door. She didn’t know what bird had built it.  I told her it was more than likely a Carolina wren as it seems they like to build their nests near the house.  Maybe there’s less chance of predators stealing the eggs that way.  3/25/25
