One of our #NativePlants #orchids Corallorhiza maculata Striped Coralroot. these live parasitically on fungi in the soil and so make no leaves. One of 2 spp common on the acreage/farm

The summer’s first Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis) flower is here ! Soon the tree, about seven feet tall, will be a mass of pink flowers and their bee friends. #garden #tree #nativePlants
Too stinking adorable! Found today at the school pollinator garden while watering

Spring flowers (Solomon's seal) are still here with early tomatoes (New Girl) also arriving. #gardening #NorthernIllinois #NativePlants
Red Baneberry, Actaea rubra
Amazing flowers. Apparently pretty poisonous, enough that the berry juice was used by indigenous folks to make arrows
I'm eagerly waiting for a nice #thimbleberry patch, not far from my place, to ripen up. #Thimbleberries are my fave #WildBerries & I love eating them every Summer.
Their big, soft, velvety leaves can be used as natural tissues. One of our #NativePlants that provides #food to humans & wildlife. Found in most forest areas across PNW regions.
A beautiful little plant, the only one of its species I saw all day
Pink Mountain heather, Phyllodoce empetriformis
I ended up with at least 32 new species on my birthday hike on Tuesday!! Up to 3030 total
Gonna share some of them, starting with this California Jacob’s ladder
I found three ladybugs on our Joe Pye Weed this morning!!
Happy Iowa wildflower Wednesday!
I learned a lot from Katie Byerly's post about false indigo—a legume, bush, insect pollinator, bird habitat, and native wildflower in the Midwest.

Zebra Swallowtail and Common Mikweed. #butterflies #NativePlants
The first of several Maltese Cross flowers to bloom in my yard. They're not native to MN but neither are they invasive. I'll keep an eye on them and if they attract pollinators, I'll keep a few around. Otherwise it's be gone you beautiful bloom, you.

Looks like with all the rain we've had, there will be a bumper crop of Blackberries!
These just grow wild in my backyard, limited only by my yanking up roots where I don't want them. It's usually me having the few leftovers after the birds, but this year looks like the birds can't keep up.
Time to start harvesting. This is where the problems start. The thorns are wicked. It's like they don't want you to gorge.
I will leave this tiny flower growing in my garden. In suburbia, it's considered a weed outside of a #NativePlants garden, but the Clasping Venus' Looking Glass or Clasping Bellflower can be found in North and South America. There are bees, butterflies, moths, and flies that visit its flowers.
I have noticed that small pollinators sometimes get scared off of some of my flowers by the rough activities of the larger ones.
This seems like a perfect stopover for the little guys.
