I thought these were blueberry but after blooming, they're definitely not! Deerberry (im like 80% sure), which is also a #NativePlants #VaNativePlants this client first hired #GardenWild to clear out this area. Its swamped with English ivy and honeysuckle- but the "weeds" are all berries & Blooms!

Expletive-laced video of me realizing in real-time that iNaturalist WASNT hallucinating and infact it WAS a fringe tree lol there have solar been atleast 3 unknowns iNat has suggested fringe tree for, and had been 0:3 in being correct but .. 4th times a charm, apparently haha #VaNativePlants
What a fantastic guide to Woodmand Spring Ephemerals! Actual unique Hand-dawn art is so refreshing these days, but its nifty info too! Lol #NativePlants #VaNativePlants #GardenSky #ReWilding
Doll's eyes (i believe) and Mayapple at a Woodland installation check-in this morning. At #GardenWild i am commited to building relationship, not just selling a product. Every install comes with 3 years of "courtesy check-ins" where I stop by several times seasonally

Found a nice big patch of Mayapple sprouting on a client's property while doing a storm check-in this morning. 😍 #VaNativePlants #NativePlants #GardenWild
Closeup photograph of a "Trout Lily", its 3 green leaves mottled with a darker green baring hints of maroon. A single stem rises from the center, arching over as if the single bloom itself weighed a pound, pointing it straight at the ground in a sharp curve. The bloom, unopened, barely hints a streak of the yellow petals from within the green sheath beginning to open.
With all of this heat the last week, I am really surprised my shade #Misfits garden ( a la the island of misfit toys) isnt bursting with life, but many of our #VaNativePlants know all-too-well how common false spring is, and are good at being patient. This Trout Lily is another rescue from the area
To having the leaves removed and sent to a landfill. In addition to the Japanese Cedar, we have an Allegheny Serviceberry and several Sweetbay Magnolias, both #NativePlants #VaNativePlants , which will round out our hardacaping. In phase 2, the fun begins as we transform this #SoftLanding into
I added 122 species total to a ~3000sqft area using a mixture bare root perennials, mature container specimen, and seed(strategically sown re: chips)Light ranges from deep dry shade to partial sun, alleopathic S Magnolia. #nativeplants #Gardenwild #Gardensky #EcologicalGardening #RVA #VaNativePlants
