Sharing a scorpion flower from my garden account. It' a nice place of respite from the madness. I was out gardening today in some balmy weather before the storms blew in. #RevelnGardens #MichiganGardens #pollinators #NativePlants

Here's a nice scorpion flower, aka Lacy Phacelia- Phacelia tenacetifolia. It's great for pollinators AND good for the soil. It grows well when direct seeded. We're using it to enrich soil in our market gardens.

It isn't often that Aunt Dahlia lets her angry passions rise, but when she does, strong men climb trees and pull them up after them.

Succulents: my Silver Squill (Ledebouria socialis) blooming. I like it better than poinsettias during the holidays.
