More ghost pipe for your viewing pleasure. #nativeplants 🌿
First time seeing New England aster, blue wood aster, and white snakeroot in the wild. All in one day!

I love it when a plan comes together! 🐸😁 Every moment in the garden is the best moment ever. #lesslawnmorelife #nativeplants #gardenforwildlife
Thread-wasted sand wasp on false sunflower.
My Little Aster that Could!
A plant to plant, not a plant to dose. Cha bhris am freumh — the root does not break.
What's the one you'd put in the ground knowing you won't see it finished?

My accidental asters (popped up in the one place I didn't seed them) are absolutely humming with pollinators today.
Got my lavender trimmed and removed all the poison ivy the birds keep helpfully planting under the maple tree. Also fought the ants for some raspberries.
Here's a male monarch butterfly on a New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) this afternoon. #butterflies #Lepidoptera #nativeplants #Illinois #nature #photography #wildlifephotography #SaveTheMonarch
What’s Blooming in SoCal?
Coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis) in the aster family, a great plant for fall blooms that help pollinators during a season with few flowers. The seeds are dispersed by wind & are abundant so clean up if you don’t want a million of them. Tolerable of anything. #nativePlants
What? You wanted another garden update?
Okay!

Halictid bee on grass-leaved goldenrod, Euthamia graminifolia. A very lovely perennial that was previously considered a true goldenrod, Solidago sp. It has an incredibly large native range, covering most of North America. They have a preference for moist soils, but are adaptable. #nativeplants
A heritage-listed boab from the 1880s was slowly dying in a Darwin car park. The new building was shaped so it never shades the tree. It's flourishing now. This episode of Gardening Australia is full of decisions like that.
