Ten years ago today 🌿 Ranunculus glaberrimus, our Sagebrush Buttercup, blooming in Gregory Canyon #nativeplants

This is a white fringe tree. It’s a native tree to the eastern United States and varies between being a shrub and a tree.
Besides being pretty, its main claim to fame is that it is a native reservoir tree for the Emerald ash Borer.
(I prefer it’s common name of Grancy Greybeard)

I showed spouse this and asked if he liked it and he made a despondent pouty face and said "well... yes... but..." and I was like "it's a spring ephemeral so it isn't JUST depressing" 🤷 #nativeplants

The more intense storms this year have brought down all the squirrel nests in my neighborhood. (And sent plastic up there instead) With otherwise bare trees, they're using the soft evergreen leaves of arborvitaes (Thuja occidentalis) for temp housing. Unsightly for the yard, but I'm glad the ecosystem provides. Sometimes I forget #gardening with #NativePlants is more than flowers for pollinators.

Planted Viburnum trilobum (Highbush cranberry) bare root plants my friend gave me. First time I've grown them.

I don't have a place ready for them in the garden, so I planted them in pots.

Quite a lovely place to look for native wildflowers! The trail used to be a towpath near the Rappahannock River for a canal that faded away when the railroad came. The area has recovered nicely. #NativePlants #Mayapple #virginia

Violet Oxalis is pretty. Though honestly I also like the yellow stuff we experience as a weed. Only the one still in the pot has bloomed, though I think the leaves have come up in the ground too. 🌱 #nativeplants 🦀⛵ #Maryland 🌎 #ecoregion65
