@kristinwyatt.bsky.socialMy front yard today. Over the last few years we have been ditching lawn and invasive plants and replacing them with native plants and trees. It amazes me how many new butterflies, birds, and animals we see. Don't be afraid to do it, even if just a little, in your yard.

@kjmisme.bsky.socialThis is my first year with bottle gentian in my yard and I’m so excited! It’s almost at peak. This flower never opens; bees have to squeeze their way in to get the nectar, and get covered in pollen in the process. Such a strange/fun adaptation.

@danisue.bsky.socialAn Oak Tree a Day
What is this? An oak with a curtain? What is it hiding? Just an understory for nurturing those little acorns that hope to grow into trees someday. Acorn collecting season! More on them in the ALT. California #nativePlants #nature
@citymousegarden.bsky.social#NativePlants Elephantopus carolinianus on the shady side of the Parkway proves there are great choices to keep color & #pollinators food going through late season even in woodland gardens with dry soil.

@citymousegarden.bsky.socialMeaningful rain finally! My new plantings need it so bad. We’re getting close to an inch & it’s still coming down. Our soil was *so* dry. While we stay inside, here is the beautiful #NativePlants Ageratina altissima (White Snakeroot).

@lnps.bsky.socialA late-season favorite for Louisiana pollinators
Marsh fleabane (Pluchea odorata), also called sweetscent, brightens Louisiana’s marshes, wetland edges and other damp places with clusters of tiny pink to purple flowers.
@wearegonnafindout.bsky.socialetc.
Do you have other favorite full sun, not too tall plants native to the Mid-Atlantic?
@planethealers.bsky.socialAs an ecologist, I focused on propagating the complete suite of native plant species needed for ecosystem restoration, not just the ones that sell. This meant offering rare plants that others wouldn't touch, which eventually led to unique customers across Canada. #ecology #restoration #nativeplants
@annieshaoart.bsky.socialMy Lanceleaf Coreopsis bloomed for the first time this June, and I'm still getting new blossoms! A great native species for a new gardener like me.
