00:00South Miami hurtling through the suburbs you want to drive on the grass God I wish

00:12we're meeting my friend field biologist Lydia Cooney at a Fairchild tropical botanical garden

00:18for conservation work takes rent the preserves throughout Miami-Dade County like the Deering

00:23estate which is one of the few slivers of pine rocklands left in the area yeah we're gonna see

00:28this lead plant popping up Lydia is the real deal and thanks to her work endangered native plants

00:33like the Crenulated lead plant Amorpha Crenulata still have a chance to survive why is this obscure

00:38little plant worth saving you might wonder the lead plant is meant to be here it's estimated that

00:43a few years ago there were only a hundred Crenulate lead plants left in the world Miami has a lot of

00:49housing pressures to develop our natural environment if there's any way that we can put native plants

00:56back into the landscape by using our yards it's a win for us because native plants are low

01:02maintenance and it's a win for the plants because they get some of their habitat back so we're getting

01:08into the pine rockland pints pints he's happy amongst the pints don't can it let it out don't keep it bottled up you know we

01:20augmented the population of the Crenulate lead plant it's just in one of two places in the wild and it's been

01:27introduced into about three or four places so down to just ten locations it's very endangered only found in Miami-Dade County

01:35so we grew this plant out to purposely reintroduce it augment the population that's here at the Deering

01:43Estate they're very attractive when they are blooming and the flower spike is really elegant with several

01:49flowers they're white or they can be purple and they're a great pollinator attractors flowers are

01:56bangers is what we're saying the flowers are real they can be jazzed they look real nice so you kind of

02:01help people get started in planting a native garden uh at their house yeah especially a pine rockland

02:08garden especially pine rockland because that's the most damaged and removed landscape yes there there's

02:13been 98 percent of the pine rockland has been developed at least wow yeah it used to cover about

02:21180,000 acres now we have very few left yeah they left only crumbs in wow this is so cool thank you for

02:29taking us out here
