cohanI had the photo edited for #WildflowerWednesday but ran out of time/oomph to write alt text, so didn't post. I'll throw it in now for #WildflowerHour This is local Castilleja miniata Paintbrush (I think some of our populations are hybrid, even though no other species locally, but this one is pretty basic). Grown from seed collected just up the road and scattered in a #MarginalGardening area on the acreage #Alberta #Canada #NativePlants #florespondence #BloomScrolling #nature #GoOutsideForMe
For @vlrny #GoOutsideForMe here's Pearly the #cat enjoying some supervised outdoor time last week. #LateSummer #Autumn #Alberta #MarginalGardening
A little talky #video of some pre-winter #gardening work I did today-- the bed is not finished, but there will be more pressing things to do this week, with a likely change in #weather next week!

Autumn Garden Work -Mid-October, Winter is Coming!
Another mixed week- some cool and wet, some clouds some warm, humid, sunny- often all of the above in 1 day!
#FlowersOnFriday thes shots are all from either #cloudy moments or late in the day when the sun is behind the trees #shady #garden #WildflowerHour #NativePlants #Alberta #vegetables #MarginalGardening
top left: garden hybrid Achillea/Yarrow I've spread these around + they've done some of that themselves (several forms, species +wild hybrids. Right: local Aster Symphyotrichum ciliolatum

pics continued: top right- wild native Epilobium angustifolium /Fireweed (genus name changed according to some, I forget the new one without looking it up..lol) This is a wild plant, self-sown or moved in with some soil I might have amended a planting with, from farther back on the acreage! It's in an area with some plantings, so we'll call it #MarginalGardening
Centre left: a rose, probably in the Canadian Explorer series, planted by my Mom or Aunt.. not really my thing, but it *is* #pink 🙂

A #golden glow for this one, various things in #flower around the #gardens and a few of the vast numbers of #butterflies currently!

@determinerik dug up a few pics of one of my Sonchus / Sow Thistle patches, from August and September, didn't come across any that show the whole plants, but some idea of them and a few of the many pollinators-- a couple of tiny #WildBees and a #FlowerFly #weeds #PollinatorGardening #insects #florespondence #MarginalGardening
@plants @nature #florespondence Early afternoon Monday, still in post breakfast stage, recovering from my Fri-Sunday work week (3 staff short yesterday, but no shortage of customers 😅 ) Finally ready to post my #SixOnSaturday (had the collage ready Sat night, no oomph to find words!)
