I'm playing around with a fancy (dslr) camera for the first time and I spotted this cute friend on the seaside daisy (Erigeron glaucus) in my garden. What a rush, to see the world through a high quality camera lens! wow! also I wonder who this is.....#nativePlant #nativeFlowers #bloomscrolling

For #WildflowerWednesday here is an evening primrose; Oenothera elata (Hooker’s Evening Primrose).
This photo was from 2 years ago; I have at least a dozen new ones that should flower this summer. These flowers grow as a flat rosette of leaves for ~1 year and then send up a tall stalk (1-2 m) that has flowers growing from the stem. As the name suggests, they primarily bloom at night and wither in the morning.

The tickseed is finally beginning to bloom after getting fertilizer!! I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm learning #gardening #flowers #NativeFlowers

Drizzly July morning here in Iowa and I've been neglecting flower photo opportunities lately but here's a couple from my rounds this AM.

#Bumblebees along with the #Sweatbees were also digging all the flowering #Milkweed! Some of my neighbors must think I'm mad, but my next door neighbor loves it!

Dusted off the camera today. It wasn't too hot, the sun was out, and my #bumblebee friends were digging the #WildHydrangea flowers! I'm glad I gave them more space and light last year -- it paid off this year!

The bees are all over our wild bergamot this summer - often 20 or 30 of them in the clumps at any given time. Our native flower garden has really brought us a lot of happiness.

Really lucky with this new bee fly in the garden - Conophorus sackenii. It isn't a rare insect, but it is not commonly observed - only the 6th one on iNaturalist and the first one in the province! It is feeding on Canada anemone, a native flower.
