#NativePlants Solidagos also carry a lot of weight this time of year. This one has a cool candelabra vibe!

I love how Jewelweed flowers look like a big mouth, in this case chomping on a bumble bee. It’s almost like an oddly shaped Pac-Man

A large fuzzy black and light yellow bee has its back half hanging out of an orange flower like a mouth. It even looks like it has lips!

🌼 oval ladies'-tresses 🌿
Spiranthes ovalis

#nativeplants #ecoregion71

a flowerspike of tiny white orchid flowers at the top of a green stalk, seen from the side. the flowers are arranged in three columns which twist gently as a triple helix, most pronounced at the top of the spike where none of the flowers are open. one column is out of sight on the far side of the spike; one is mostly facing to the right; and the third is mostly facing forward, slightly to the left. each flower has a leafy bract at its base, cupping the hairy green ovary. the sepals and petals collectively form an apparently bilabial tube-shaped structure lying horizontal. two upper petals with a sepal resting on top across both petals for the 'upper lip' which rises slightly at the tip, while the third petal alone forms the 'bottom lip' which curves down sharply at its tip. the two remaining sepals are held out to the sides where they spread apart slightly. another angle, a little closer in, which better reveals the spiraling character of the three columns of tiny white orchid flowers. the flowers low on the spike are open, while those above are closed & may not ever open; this variety is capable of self-pollination. this perspective also gives a glimpse down the throat of some of the flowers, where there is a mild greenish tinge. some of the reproductive organs are tucked away in there but nothing can be seen distinctly. an oval ladies'-tresses growing on the floor of a deciduous hardwood forest, surrounded by the green leaves of violets. its thin green stalk rises from a bed of leaf litter & terminates below knee-height with a spike of tiny white orchid flowers arranged in a triple helix. there is one leaf growing at its base, smooth & shiny green, with entire margins, lance-shaped; a couple similar, though progressively smaller leaves grow at intervals higher on its stalk.

Seasonally inappropriate patch (but it looks nice on this hat) 🌱 #nativeplants

The poster in silver-gray sun hat and shirt, their face hidden under the wide brim. A patch depicting bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) with the words "Here Today Gone Tomorrow" is safety pinned to the hat. There are black cherry trees in the far background and many spotted bee balm stalks in the midground.

One of many Xylocopa micans, Southern Carpenter Bees, on Varronia bullata in Key Largo 9/20/26.
Due to recent rains, this shrub was at its fragrant, flowering peak and covered with wasps, hover flies, and at least 3 bee species.

If I have to make multiple trips to the hospital in one week, at least I get to enjoy the view of the #nativeplants garden by the entrance

A close-up of a small section of a very large, circular garden. Still fresh-looking coneflowers are the stars of the show, surrounded by mostly green foliage, except here, where tiny bluish-purple (vervain?) or small white flowers (looks like foxglove beardtongue but it's the first day of fall?!) poke out Elsewhere in the garden where still blooming butterfly weeds and asters

This is going to end up becoming a #NativePlants Asters stan account at this rate.

An Oak Tree a Day
Don’t cry for me when I’m gone. Instead of clearing the dead wood of a fallen tree, it is left in place for shelter & food resources for wildlife. When this tree breaks down it will also add nutrients to the soil, the 2nd largest sequester of CO2. California #nativePlants #nature

The V shaped remains of a fallen oak tree laying on a slope of dried grass. Only tan colored bark is left on the trunk and branches. The leaves have all fallen and dried out supplying nutrients to the soil when they break down. There is a post and cable fence in the foreground and branches of healthy oak trees with leaves are visible highlighting the old dead tree. The sky is overcast and gray.
