Botany, Travel, and Art, Oh My!
I used one of Modern Sprout’s self-watering gardening jar kits (not sponsored, but there are affiliate links in this post for that and other components if you’d like to get your own). However, you could use a regular hydroponics basket, some nylon belting (think bag straps or seat belt material) and a jar you have at home.
Today, we’re talking about the only plant to currently have “rainbow” in its scientific designation: The Arctostaphylos rainbowensis, or Rainbow Manzanita. This dicot shrub is native and endemic to California (4,5), existing exclusively in the far southern portion of the state, specifically between northern San Diego to southern Riverside counties.
