  1. Coyote Thistle for #ThistleThursday due to the common name... but this plant is actually in the Apiaceae family, while thistles belong to the Asteraceae 🤪

    The scientific name is Eryngium aristulatum var. parishii and another common name is San Diego Button Celery.

    This is a rare/endangered native plant, due to limited distribution and habitat loss. It grows in vernal pools, of which >90% in San Diego have been lost due to development.

  2. Vous dormez pas ? Je vous propose de découvrir un petit documentaire de 30 minutes que j'ai filmé avec un copain. 30 minutes de marche en nature, de vidéos macro de plantes, et d'anecdotes et infos sur des plantes comestibles. Bon visionnage et bonne nuit !

  7. My gloved hand, for scale.
    This magneta dahlia is taller than me, I had to pull a large branch down to take this photo. It's still blooming with more petals to unfurl.
    It is big, bold & beautiful!

  8. People who don't garden a lot + people who garden & follow all 'rules' - You can't sow phacelia in July. It won't even bloom until next year.

    Me - I sow phacelia whenever there's extra seeds. They bloom. You can come & see, yourself.

  9. Acmispon prostratus (Beach Lotus, Nutall's Acmispon) is a rare California native plant in the pea family (Fabaceae) that is threatened and endangered due to habitat lost to coastal development. Imagine my excitement when I unexpectedly found it growing in a coastal dune restoration area!

  10. The #OrangeBallTree is native to #Chile.
    It's been cultivated here as a popular ornamental in pollinator gardens. This flowering tree had hundreds of #pollinators feeding on it. It is a beautiful flower tree! 🧡
    It's used as a cultural #MedicinalPlant too. Infusion of their leaves is used topically for the treatment of wounds, burns & ulcers.

  11. Lovely Peeps, the newspaper link no longer works (which is a shame because it was a great article) but I still love the idea, so am moving over my original post without it - & now there is a website! 😊

    🚨​ Love this! 😃​

    #BlackMenFlowerProject, a nonprofit centering the health & well-being of #BlackMen since 2021, is asking #Black men to nominate others they know for flower delivery as a way to show appreciation & build community.

    Already in a few cities, #florists in more are enquiring about joining, and there may soon be a nationwide network of Black men connecting with each other through nature. 💪​

  12. Spring is springing! Our #apricot is doing its best to live up to its name. Looks pretty too.

  13. #PacificAster is one of my fave #NativePlants to use for #rewilding & for attracting more #pollinators.

    It's a small, hardy, beautiful purple #NativeWildflower which is found from BC to California. It's tolerant of many different coastal habitats, from ocean sand dunes to rocky outcrops to salt marshes to grasslands to forests. Great plant to use for soil erosion & slopes stabilization work. It has a deep, clumpy, extensive fibrous root system - don't grow beside plants with weaker root systems.

    Pacific aster is extremely easy to grow in it's native grow zones, across coastal PNW areas. You'll love their long bloom time, from late May into late October. It provides pollen sources for pollinators in Fall. After they stop blooming, they'll produce fluffy seed heads, full of prolific wind-born #seeds. Snip off tops of seed heads to save them. I store mine in airtight jars & share a lot of them too.
