Three different plant tags in green, blue, and black

Ordered some different plant tags (mostly just considering colors) to hopefully use in the #CommunityGarden. Exciting to think about all the different #NativePlants that the #neighborhood can learn about!

Four photos of a nodding onion bloom in various phases. The first image shows a closed flower bud dropping down at the end of a tall green stem. The second image shows the bud partially open with a clump of tiny pastel pink flowers emerging. The third photo shows the clump fully emerged and spreading out resembling a canopy or umbrella. The final photo shows a spherical cluster of tiny white flowers similar in shape to a dandelion poof.

Nodding Onion 🌱 Each phase of the bloom is so cute! I only have one of these plants in my garden, but it's doing really well. I hope to have more someday. 🩷🤍💚

📍 TEST PLOT MN is located off of the bike path next to the intersection of Lexington and Pierce Butler in St. Paul (look for the sign and the small wooden wattle fencing)

Native locally collected seed grown nodding onions in a flower border. They are equally pollinator friendly, tasty and pretty. 🌸

Local nodding onions this #WildflowerWednesday. Besides being pest free & showy, the whole plant is delectably edible; plus the flowers are great in salads.

A nodding onion

This is a #NoddingOnion that is one year old in my #garden. I can’t wait to see all the nodding onions at @testplot.mn 1 year from now in #ALineThatGrows

Talvella kylvettyjä nuokkulaukan taimia. Muistuttavat nuoria heinänkorsia.

Kukkivia nuokkulaukkoja.

Kuukausien uskollisen kastelun tuloksena minulla on kolme heinää. Lopputuloksena pitäisi olla oikeanpuoleisessa kuvassa oleva kasvi🤔🌱

I am a little late to the party, but was just watching this video on #WinterSowing. May have to try out some #Milkweed, #WesternColumbine, #Solidago, #Poppies, #NoddingOnion, #MinersLettuce, #comfrey and see if anything sprouts youtu.be/SKXY6dl-5Tk?...

Nodding Wild Onion (Allium cernuum), will be a new one for me this year! I planted several large patches of this spring bloomer in a few areas of landscaping around the yard 🌿
