Probably a cherry tree (Prunus subg. Cerasus), out in the neighborhood.
#Hosta, #creepingMyrtle ( #VincaMinor ), maple (genus Acer). Around here we have plenty of adult maple trees, and I suppose theyβre pretty prolific because we see lots of little maple leaves growing all over the place.
Probably an apple tree. Orchard apple or crabapple? Time will tell.
Probably a cherry plum tree (Prunus cerasifera).
Probably #motherwort ( #LeonurusCardiaca ).
Gardeners are laughing at me, posting these non-descript plants.
Hereβs the thing. We had a yard when I was a kid. But I was an indoor cat, just reading all the time. On top of that, although my mother grew up in a small city near Philadelphia and her father had an agricultural background, she didnβt seem to know anything about wildlife at all. So whatever was growing in the yard was um dandelions and non-dandelions.
So yeah Iβm just catching up.
#GreatMullein ( #VerbascumThapsus). Apparently a somewhat problematic invasive plant.
More backyard creeping phlox (Phlox subulata)
Enjoy a slow thread about yer Graxβs adjustment from big city livinβ to #SmallCityLivin. I will get plant namesβcommon and scientificβwrong and eagerly invite correction.
Weβll start with some #creepingPhlox ( #PhloxSubulata ) from our backyard.
