A flowering Potentilla fruticosa, common name shrubby cinquefoil. A small shrub with yellow flowers.
She hasn't even lived here a week and she's already flowering! She didn't have any flowers when I planted her. I hope it means she loves it here and not that she's dying and needs to reproduce before she goes. #nativar #killyourlawn #potentilla

The bottom row from left to right are a purple columbine (Aquilegia sp.), black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa 'Autumn Magic'), Penstemon cardinalis, and pussy toes (Antennaria plantaginifolia).

There are plenty of Milkweed Nativars but maybe this one will make the cut to be the next. Here is Asclepias tuberosa “Krasnov”. It’s a little red, but mostly orange, blooms for a very short time yet is a hotbed of ambush bugs. Unlike its namesake it is a real asset. #nativar #nativeplants
this Twilight Zone cultivar of little bluestem is off the fuckin’ chain
