front meadow under snow. birds have been coming to it every morning to eat the seed heads. I let some of the flowers get too high this summer but now I don’t regret it.

Ohhhh lovely!

There have been so many perfect asters this year!

It’s starting to drift off but right now it’s still Aster season

I will never get sick of asters and all their variety. P.S. spot the bee!

Stonecrop planted last year and Goldenrod

New York Ironweed blooming only two months after I planted it… made my day

Asters are happening!!!

goldenrods are shooting off! no sign yet of their companion aster blooms

kill your lawn!

summer rainstorm while sunny and the Wild Bergamot has appeared

that honey locust thorn is gnarly. I read it may have been to defend against mega phauna?

good morning, coneflower people! #killyourlawn #nativeplants

summer flowers are suddenly here, baby!

I use the app all the time and I will sadly delete it if this goes forward

Please don’t.

This is awful.

I love the native Carolina Rose and how consistently the flowers appear the first week of June in their neon pinkness #plantnative #nativeroses

garden mounds were going great this spring but have now been repurposed by this snapping turtle for egg laying. I need to replant the artichokes and rhubarb but I’m excited about turtle eggs!

hello little Spiderwort! my hill meadow gets covered by the very strong pushy natives — but I’m trying this year to identify and make space for the more subtle among us #oneacrerewild #killyourlawn

the dog roommate seems to appreciate the jewelweed here at #oneacrerewild

dear Hairy Beard-tongue — will I ever learn your proper name?? unlikely bc the common one is so silly that it is resolutely stuck in my brain #plantnativeplants

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Yeah so many ecosystems are out of wack between predator loss and lack of wild spaces 😩

Awww but a bee!🐝

oh wow! how bold

Milkweed has been loving all the rain

I planted Yellow Honeysuckle with the Trumpet (Scarlet) Honeysuckle before I learned that just being labeled “native” didn’t make it native to my area. it doesn’t cause harm but when I add cuttings, I am just going to do Trumpet 🎺

What! That’s incredible

You are so lucky!

I love the tickseeds! this is Lanced-leafed Coreopsis just starting to bloom #nativeplants
