  1. The plant of the end of summer: rosebay willowherb, which I think of as wilgeroosje and others know as fireweed.

  6. Second part of the Venus Flytrap seedling transfer preparation, the bog looks good. I haven't water germated like this before but I think the seedlings are ok, at least they are still alive. I am using #guvcview for the magnifier capture and soldering clamps to keep it in place while #livebogging :)

  7. The first seedlings from the 2026 Venus Flytrap harvest are ready to plant. I water germinated them this time and it seems to have worked. I think I will put them in the bog. The last stalk with seed pods is still attached and should be ready to pull in a few days.

  8. A couple of sunflowers grew from the birdseed, this little Hoverfly seems to be very happy with them 🌻

  14. My oldest Sempervivum is flowering and I am happy/sad about it. It only blooms one time at the end of life but it made a lot of offsets along the way.

  15. #Oakleaf #hydrangea.
    I love how different they look from common hydrangeas. I also love how their foliage turns from green to shades of red & purple - which provide beautiful mixed foliage colours from Summer into mid-Autumn.
    This one is just starting to bud.

  16. #WesternTrillium.
    This is an older Western trillium, in urban forest. They're usually all white. As they get older(takes many years), you'll see shades of pink & purple petals.
    Please never disturb Western trilliums in the wild. They are extremely sensitive native plants & need to be left alone to visually admire. Western trillium takes up to 15 years to flower. Once it has been picked/heavily disturbed, it dies. Please leave them growing 🙏

  17. If you're in PNW & love sunflowers but have limited gardening space - I would recommend the native perennial #WoolySunflower aka #OregonSunshine. It's a miniature native sunflower - very easy to grow from seeds. They do well in pots or in the ground. Pollinators love their bright, cheery flowers 💛🐝💛🌼

  18. Opposite-leaf #lewisia. You usually see white or pinkish varieties in the wild. Easily propagated from wild cuttings to grow in your gardens.
    A perennial herbal plant, native to PNW areas.

  19. Quill-leaf #Lewisia.

    This perennial herbal plant has medicinal benefits. Its roots are traditionally used to naturally alleviate stomach issues, diarrhea & skin irritations. Roots can be chewed to alleviate thirst. Medicinal use should only be done under experienced supervision, with correct dosage.

  20. I didn’t even know columbine could be this particular petal shape but the leaves look like a columbine. This one grew unexpectedly in my back garden this year.

  21. My Pasqueflower (started from seed a year or two ago) has finally bloomed for the first time ever.
    It may be confused: they're supposed to flower in early spring. Still, it's a lovely last hurrah for summer.

  22. #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.
