Jacobs Ladder isn’t a climber. . .

Balsamroot blooming away in my native plant garden. These take 5-6 years to bloom but it was worth the wait. 😍

We are excited to join Blue Sky. We are a Native Wildflower Nursery located in the Foothills of Alberta, Canada. We hand collect our seeds from our glorious back-county. We hope you will follow along & see what grows here & maybe get inspired to Grow Wild. #nativewildflowers #Albertawildflowers

Did you know? We specialize in perennial native plants, so rather than buy annuals again, why not get flowers that will return year after year 🌞🎋💚 www.wildaboutflowers.ca/index.php #solidago #goldenrod #prairie #spring #plantnursery #sunshine #flowers #wildflower

I need some colour on this whiter than white winter day. I call this pic Purple Haze. Looking over Showy Jacob’s Ladder, Silky Scorpion Weed, Forget-Me-Nots and Mouse-eared Chickweed towards the Livingston range in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains late on a spring day.

Beautiful show happening tonight.

Beautiful backcountry drive in southern Alberta today. A little sun, some snow, some rain, and lots of vibrant autumn colours.

Bottle Gentian peaking out of the old log. The bees must push their way inside the flower to pollinate it as it never opens.

The native annual Sunflower - Helianthus annuus brings in all sorts of critters. Goldfinches love them and this guy, who I think is a Perplexing Bumble Bee - Bombus perplexus was huge!
