Velvety looking bright green leaves of a Virginia bluebell plant without its flowers yet, the lobed and scallop edged leaves of the bloodroot plant are in the back. There is leaf litter surrounding them.

The rich purple of silvery scurfpea (Pediomelum argophyllum) is hardly noticeable compared to the silver foliage in person. They are beautiful from a bee’s eye view.

Sometimes when I feel like world issues are insurmountable, I think about the resiliency of my native garden & how it nourishes many things. Always lessons to be learned in the natural world...most of all, in cultivating hope. A better world is STILL possible. #liatrisligulistylis #mnnativeplants
