#PacificRhododendron aka #CaliforniaRosebay, is native to coastal #PacificNorthwest areas, from California to British Columbia. It's the #StateFlower of #WashingtonState. They usually produce pink to peach coloured flowers.

It's found growing in the wilds of coastal forest areas. It's been cultivated into gardens here too. You can grow them from cuttings, taken from wild or ask for cuttings from local cultivated gardens.

More of our indoor #orchids have bloomed.
The white one is for my Dad's memorial altar & it has the most blooms ❤️ I have another white one, with only 2 flowers so far.

#BlackMedick aka #HopClover.

It grows on almost every continent. Very cold & drought resistant. Known as an excellent pioneer plant to rewild disturbed grounds. #PioneerPlants are plants that are often used to start many #rewilding efforts in areas where the soil isn't great & has suffered damages. It doesn't do too well in full shade. Very #ColdResistant & #DroughtResistant, once established - it's been found in mountain elevations to desert environments.

A good choice for a #ClimateActionGarden.
In the alfalfa family of plants.

The seeds are edible & can be ground up into flour but they're too small for the effort. It's mainly used as animal #fodder & it attracts lots of #pollinators 👍
