This glorious Green Street catalpa in Lebanon is a 24-hour diner for pollinators. Bees pollinate the flowers in daytime. At night, an increase in nectar and fragrance attracts moths to continue the pollination process.

A wonderful sight for winter weary eyes! Magnolias are currently in bloom all over Lebanon, and this one in front of APD Hospital is particularly beautiful. Magnolias have been around for millions of years. They were around before bees and have relied on beetles for pollination. As a result, Magnolia blooms and leaves are very tough and resist insect damage. The flowers bloom in Spring before the leaves appear.
