Mastodawn

Iris xiphium is native to Portugal and Spain, thriving in dry meadows, woodlands, and scrublands. It supports pollinators like wild bees and butterflies, enriching landscapes often threatened by agriculture and land abandonment. Though not endangered, it benefits from habitat conservation that protects Mediterranean plant diversity.

Also known as sea squill, Drimia maritima is a wild Mediterranean plant that blooms in late summer. Its tall stalk is covered in striking white flowers with reddish stripes. It grows in dry, rocky places and has been used for centuries in folk remedies and to keep pests away. Have you ever spotted one?

Look up to the sky...
Floating in Gemini, the Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443) is a 5,000-light-year-old supernova remnant—an graveyard of gas and dust. Its tangled filaments and shockwaves reveal the violent death of a massive star. Astronomers study it to learn how supernovae shape galaxies. We just admire it! ;-)

The red-rumped swallows are fast fliers and they swoop on insects while airborne. They breed in open hilly country of temperate southern Europe and Asia. Their nests, build with mud collected in their beaks, resemble quarter-sphere with a lined tunnel entrance. But most impressive are their evening flight displays, while they hawk insects… they should not be missed!
