An oak tree with many bare horizontal branches and tufts of leaves lollipop style at the uppermost branches
A closer look at the trunk doesn’t seem to be connected to the soil.
An Oak Tree a Day
Here’s a crazy specimen. Horizontal for the most part but on closer look it is laying down with no visible connection between the truck and the roots. I would have checked it out closer but I’m not climbing that hill in flip flops. California #nativePlants #nature

Small, bright green, deeply incised leaves are scattered throughout an area of grass, some of which is a darker green and some of which is still pale and dry from the winter.
In today’s photo is the current reason I am even less inclined than usual toward mowing the grass.
Suddenly this year the Carolina cranesbill (Geranium carolinianum) has spread enthusiastically into the lawn.

A black tray holding several 4 and 6-cell inserts (which are pink, purple, and black) sits on a wire shelf under bright lights The inserts contain the seeds of several species of native plants in seed starting mix, topped with vermiculite (all of which are labelled with white water-resistant plant markers) Species include pearly everlasting, foxglove beardtongue, Canada (wild) columbine, Canada (showy) tick trefoil, bottle gentian, Culver's root, boneset, cardinal flower, pale purple coneflower, golden Alexanders, Canada goldenrod, grey goldenrod, and prairie smoke All seeds have been artificially cold stratified for several weeks and will now take at least several weeks more (and up to several months) to germinate
And now the waiting begins
Lots and lots (and lots and lots) of waiting...

#phenology Blue-eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora) A winter annual here at 1300m.
Flowering in unison now, 1000s forming a
kind of dense, delicate ephemeral ground cover,
among Clovers, Waterleaf, Spring Beauties
and Avalanche Lilies.
Diminutive. But 3cm high.

A single trillium stands in stark white and yellow in a forest of green and brown
A trillion trillium (10) together trailside
Trillium ovatum, or Western Trillium, is a springtime classic all over the PNW. Check it out: THREE leaves, THREE sepals (the little leaves under the petals), THREE petals, and six (2xTHREE) stamen arraigned in a TRIangle
That's right, this plant's a math nerd

A photograph of a Mountain Laurel shrub in bloom, with the focus on a close-up of a few branches covered in both dark green leaves and pale pink, cup-shaped flowers.
More plant-posting, this time some Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) in a nearby state park. This shrub looks more or less like the evergreen-dicot-ever until it blooms, lining the riverbanks with contrasting pale pink and dark green colors. #nativeplants #botany #alabama #mountainlaurel

Two small, white , star-shaped flowers against a background of green weeds.
Crowpoison (aka false garlic). Just a little guy, but exciting for me because it's a native returning on it's own to an area cleared of dense invasive bush honeysuckle. Unknown if it's actually poisonous to crows. #nativeplants #wildflowers

The mystery plant on January 4, a large rosette of dark pointed leaves with pale veins.
The plant now has abundant lighter-colored leaves with white velvety hairs and looks something like an overgrown lettuce. When I tried looking this photo up on iNaturalist and Seek, I got Prickly Lettuce, Velvetweed, Chicory, and Evening Primrose was at the end of the list. Basketflower wasn't a suggestion.
Closeup of the flower bud. It hasn't formed the prickly-looking basket yet, but it looks like it's working up to it. Oklahoma Northern Crosstimbers ecoregion 29a.
This mystery plant came up in my garden over winter and my app said it was an Evening Primrose. But now I'm hoping it might be from the Basketflower seeds I tried to grow two years ago? (I may or may not have planted the seeds there.) #nativeplants #gardening 🌱 #plantID

Small white and pink flowers with five petals and grass like leaves bloom in a lawn in suburban Philadelphia.
Life has been full of stress this spring. I feel careworn and down. Noticing that the Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica) I added to the lawn last summer is blooming put a smile on my face today. 🌱 #nativeplants

a blooming dwarf crested iris seen from directly above. the flower's three light purple petals are elliptical in shape and are positioned approximately at 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock, and 8 o'clock (actually slightly counterclockwise from there but close enough). midway between each petal are the much showier sepals, which are not only longer and broader than the petals, but have a more exciting color pattern. along the edges they are light purple, but towards the center there is a band of dark purple surrounding a patch of white, with an area of bright yellow at the center of the white patch. the sepals also sport a crest along their midline within the white and yellow areas: a wavy ridge flanked by two parallel rows of teeth. only the tips of the crest are visible however, because much of the three sepals are covered by three light purple petal-like style arms, which provide a roof over the sepals to protect the flower's stamens and stigmas.
two blooming irises soaking in sunlight & buffeted by a breeze. three light purple petals alternate with three larger sepals, which are light purple along the edges but within have a band of dark purple fringing a white patch which gives way to bright yellow. the sepal's crest is a wavy yellow ridgeline running down the midline, with two rows of white teeth running alongside. on the nearer flower, the wind has blown the style arms up, revealing two long, tapering white stamens. the flower grows on a round stalk ascending among half of dozenish broad, curving sword-like leaf blades.
a patch of dwarf crested irises growing among brown fallen tree leaves on the forest floor. there is one purple, white, and yellow flower in bloom, but more than half a dozen shoots with several tall, green, grass-like leaf blades standing upright.

Boop! Today I found 2nd Packera obovata happy, healthy & full of buds, across sidewalk from its partner on Parkway, in the bed in front of house. So soon we’ll be feeding even more #pollinators in our tough part sun beds.

A Perfumeballs (Gaillardia suavis) plant with a dark-red ball-shaped flowers on tall bare stems coming from a profuse rosette of long toothy leaves. White Western Daisies are in the background.
A Monarch butterfly balances on the side of a Perfumeballs flower. It's not a great picture, but I like to post the first and last Monarchs that I see every year. Oklahoma Northern Crosstimbers ecoregion 29a.
Today the Perfumeballs were visited by the first Monarch I've seen this year. Gaillardia suavis is native in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. #nativeplants #gardening #butterflies 🌱

Close-up view of flowering shrub with shiny oval leaves with end points and serrated edges and white flowers with dark pink stamens
Hip-high stems of white-flowering shrub in sun with trees near by
I started with one black chokeberry plant, local ecotype from Earth Sangha, 5 years ago, and now I have a lovely thicket of Aronia melanocarpa. Northern Virginia, morning part sun, afternoon shade. Maybe one day, it will be dense enough to forage for berries. #NativePlants

View of ground with brown leaf fragments and grass at right corners, and at center, a plant with long flat green leaves.
Oh the joy of finding more blue-eyed grass that I can rescue from the lawn and move to somewhere it will never be mowed! I think those are baby shrubby St John's wort at the top left. They'll get a new home, too. #NativePlants

Asclepias hirtella seedlings beginning to pop inside winter sowing jug.
Asclepias latifolia seedlings beginning to pop inside winter sowing jug.
Asclepias viridiflora seedlings beginning to pop inside winter sowing jug.
Amorpha nana seedlings beginning to pop inside winter sowing jug.
Can’t remember if I posted about this but my last inspection of winter sowing jugs outside on 4/3 yielded ~15 more varieties so now we are at 40+ of 109 species germinated. Especially excited to see some #MilkweedForMonarchs & other #NativePlants surfacing finally.

Closeup of a penstemon leaf and buds. The leaf is a waxy silver-green with wavy edges and is shaped like a little boat. The pinkish stem of the plant grows through the center of the boat like a mast, and the coral egg-shaped flower buds also grow from dainty stems that come from the base of the center stem. The leaves have fine white veins radiating from the center.
Another angle of the Penstemon murrayanus flower buds that shows the boat shape of the leaf a little better. The stems of this plant tend to nod at the top, then get stiffer, straighter and darker red as they get taller.
Scarlet Beardtongue aka Cupleaf Penstemon getting ready to bloom. Penstemon murrayanus. Native to a small area of Texas, Louisiana and southeastern Okahoma. #nativeplants #gardening 🌱

Native plants are not just pretty. They are the foundation of local ecosystems. Every native garden planted is a habitat restored. 🌺 #NativePlants #Habitat #Rewilding
