Posted on April 15, 2023April 15, 2023 by larksparrow04/15/2023 spring at home in person Mystery green bit in caliche planter. Looks suspiciously like a grass but we’ll find out! Maybe something good! The yellow irises from Judy are in full bloom now! One of the two Camassia scilloides has TWO flower buds! The other Camassia scilloides has a much smaller flower bud. The angusta has a similar sized bud that is on a shorter stalk as of yet. The two leaf senna is coming back! This one got big last year and made a lot of seeds. The other smaller two leaf senna from last year is off to a great start this season! I put a lot of Missouri fluttermill primrose seeds in the yellow area of the rainbow garden )near the two leaf senna) and one is coming up! Yay! The dwarf spiderwort continues to bloom! This one has two flowers now! The other individual hasn’t flowered yet. This mystery grass has appeared in many areas under the oak tree. It seems wrong for millet but I don’t remember wheat in the bird seed mix? Any ideas are welcome. iNaturalist suggests the wheat genus but I don’t think there are any native ones here.
Two-leaved senna is so fun and important for butterflies. I don’t know why it isn’t more well known and planted. Loading... Reply
I love the two leaf senna. So glad it is growing for you. Unit 31 had a beautiful hill top of it last season. Loading... Reply
I think it could well be wheat. Definitely not native. Maybe you tried to compost some wheatberries?? Loading... Reply
I suspect birdseed based on its concentration under the feeder though I don’t recall it being in any mix. Or maybe it was in suet? Loading... Reply
