Posted on March 26, 2023March 26, 202303/23/2023 Thursday babies Baby Liatris #4! Baby Liatris #5! Anemone berlanderi dug from home from last year! About to bloom! Maybe Salvia azurea? Bigger view of planter with salvia azurea possibility and some possible False Gaura too.
Posted on April 17, 2022April 17, 2022Sunday garden check up Blue flax seedlings are getting tiny new leaves. Possibly a false gaura! It looks different from the common volunteers! Two Datura wrightii seedlings! A senna hopeful. It is actually a bit rough, so maybe this is the rough leaf sunflower?? A redbud I potted up last year. The Euphorbia from Mom and Dad’s house is perking back up. Roman chamomile did well while I was gone! Lettuce and bok choy doing good. Two more fluttermill Missouri primrose seedlings up! The horse crippler cactus transplanted from Mom’s garden. I’ve put a drip on the ground plum (actually a legume) since yesterday, as it seems to be having a rough transplant. This is also into the rock garden. In the rainbow garden, a mystery seedling. Maybe two leaf senna??? Butterfly milkweed is coming up in rainbow garden. Maybe another butterfly milkweed? It’s in the right place. A single cilantro seedling. The only one in the yard. In that crack. A winecup from two years ago. Purple prairie clover from two years ago. Maybe Liatris leaves? It’s in the right spot. Another mystery seedling. Tall vervain is perking up a bit. Ten petal anemone are perking up too! Greeneyes getting bigger! My blue stars are blooming! Salvia azurea leaves.
Posted on April 14, 2022April 14, 2022Path and fence plants I got a bit of dirt from near the rosette of Spiranthes orchids to get any mycorrhizae to sprinkle in my soil at home. Here it is. “Mother hellloooooooo hi hi hi hi wigglessss” Boredom between walks. Also bored. Several spring prairie plants I want to establish in my mini-prairie (to ensure flowers for early pollinators) are growing right by Mom and Dad’s house where they always weedeat, right along the foundation and in the driveway. This is a wild onion. A weird and neato double stemmed and double seed head ten petal anemone!! Hopefully these annual groundsel (which will get mowed in path) will seed in my yard. Mom did a cross post on her blog. This is private property, so we are the only people digging any plants and are careful to take very few and from areas on the property where they will be damaged or killed, such as a path, the house foundation, or fence line. We also divided plants from the garden near the house and dug up babies from yard trees that would get mowed. Gracie got a sticker in her paw, so Mom helped her out. Up along the fence, there was a small fragrant sumac that Mom was going to lop off (keeping the fence line clear) so we dug it up. It had a long taproot! Still not as long as a yucca though.
