How Do You Design A #WildlifeCorridor For #Maine Garden Design?

Excerpt:

"Plant Palette: #NativeSpecies and Layering for Maine

Choose plants that are native to your Maine ecoregion and that provide multiple functions: forage, cover, nesting structure, and seasonal continuity.

- Canopy and large trees (plant for future shade and mast): white pine (Pinus strobus), red #maple (Acer rubrum), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), red oak (Quercus rubra), balsam fir.
- Small trees and large shrubs (structure and fruit): serviceberry (Amelanchier spp.), crabapple (Malus spp. native selections), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana).
- Shrubs for berries and cover: highbush #blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), #winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata), highbush #cranberry (Viburnum trilobum), black #chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa), #elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), #bayberry (Morella pensylvanica).
- Herbaceous layer and pollinator plants: common #milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), joe-pye weed (Eutrochium spp.), #asters (Symphyotrichum spp.), #goldenrod (Solidago spp.), mountain mint (Pycnanthemum spp.), columbine (Aquilegia canadensis).
- Groundcover and forest floor: bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), wild ginger (Asarum canadense), sedges (Carex spp.), native ferns where appropriate.
- Wetland edge species for riparian corridors: blueflag iris (Iris versicolor), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), #sedges, and #NativeRushes.

Plant choice should reflect site moisture, sunlight, and soil pH. Avoid ornamental cultivars with little #wildlife value and never plant species known to be invasive in Maine such as Japanese #barberry or #bittersweet."

In frost, they bloom again
#SilentSunday #goldenrod #wildflowers #meadow #photo #photography #nature #frost

Tall goldenrod is called seitaka-awadachi-sou (セイタカアワダチソウ) in Japanese. It literally means “tall frothing plant.” I’ve wondered about the name for a while until it dawned on me a few years ago while hiking, that when they go to seed, they look like they’re bubbling up frothy foam at the top of the spears. Duh 😂🌾✨

#goldenrod

Accidentally took a photo with the front camera when trying to get a pic of this little bagworm-like larva on goldenrod, so enjoy this 180° view. They make themselves little casings from goldenrod fluff. Anyone know what they are?

Tall Goldenrod — 100% living up to its name... Such a stunning sight in the November morning light! 😍

Seaside goldenrod. It always seems that the flowers are too heavy to be vertical. #bloomscrolling #seaside #goldenrod #GoodMorning

I thought I would continue combining other media with cyanotype. This is a unique hand made multimedia print with linocuts and cyanotype on watercolour paper (11” x 14”). On top of the cyanotype print of Canada goldenrod, I made a lino block print of the wildflower along with a monarch butterfly and an endangered Karner blue butterfly.

21 Garden Plants to Use as Natural Dyes

You’ve heard of vegetable and cut flower gardens, but what about dye gardens? Dying yarn and fabrics with plant-based dyes allows you to create beautiful hues and develop a new appreciation for plants. If you’re not sure where to get started, join Briana Yablonski to learn 21 plants you can use as natural dyes.

Written by Briana Yablonski Horticulture review by Sarah Jay Last updated: May 1, 2024

"very so often, a new question strikes me. A few years ago, I found myself wondering how people transformed neutral-colored wool, cotton, and silk into shades of pink, blue, and yellow. I knew I could find synthetic dyes in tie-dye kits and commercial clothing factories, but I wondered how people colored their clothing, rugs, and linens before these products existed. Amazingly, many natural plant dyes can be grown right in our home gardens!

While not all natural dyes come from plants, there are more than a handful of flowers, leaves, and fruit that offer beautiful colors. Since dyeing is a chemical process strongly affected by pH, adding materials like soda and citric acid allows you to use one dye source to create multiple colors.

You’re welcome to experiment with natural plant dyes of any species, but some plants are known to produce particularly vibrant colors. Try dyeing with a few of the following plants to see the range of colors the botanical world offers."

And yeah, I've seen urine used for various purposes, but not as a dye mordant... Not for the squeamish!

20 Natural Dye Plants You Can Forage and Grow in Your Garden

By Catherine Winter

Excerpt: "Would you prefer to go a super-natural route, since you’re using plant-based dyes? If you’re aiming to be as self-sufficient as possible, there are also all-organic mordant options as well.

Natural Mordants:

- Sumac: Simmer fresh sumac twigs for about an hour, strain out the twiggy bits, and reduce the liquid by half
- Urine: human urine is ideal for mordanting, but you’ll need to age it. Collect it in a jar and allow it to age for several days. [🤢 ]
- Salt: You can use standard table salt as a mordant, but Kosher salt can yield some of the strongest color-fastness. [I've used that]
- Vinegar [That too]
- Wood ash lye

"You’ve probably noticed that some of these are alkaline, and some are acidic. Alkaline mordants tend to work best with plant-based fibers like cotton, linen, and #hemp. In contrast, acidic mordants like vinegar are better with animal fibers like #wool, #alpaca, and #angora.

"Note that if you use an acidic mordant and your colors still run, you can set the color by dipping the fabric in a 50/50 vinegar/water solution. In contrast, if you’ve used an alkaline mordant like lye or baking soda [another one I've used], an acidic solution will strip the color rather than setting it." [Been there, done that!]

These colorful lesions were originally thought to be just fungal infections (Botryosphaeria dothidea) but were eventually found to harbor midge larvae (Asteromyia carbonifera) that farm the fungi for food and use the hardened hyphae to prevent (sometimes) parasitic wasps from ovipositing into the gall. In turn, emerging female flies dutifully transmit spores to new plants each generation. #goldenrod #fly #diptera #fungus #fungi #mutualism #gall #galls #solidago #cecidomyiidae #insects #entomology

In less than ten minutes, I saw the following in my goldenrod:
Red belted bumblebee
Common eastern bumblebee
Jagged ambush bug
Some kind of masked bee
Hairy banded mining bee
Drury's long horned bee
Fourteen spotted lady beetle
Orange legged furrow bee
Northern paper wasp
Mexican grass carrying wasp
European tube wasp
Autumn meadowhawk
Plus a bunch of tiny black beetles that I can never identify because they're too small
Plus a bunch of flies

Good Morning!

Here's an underappreciated beauty, often blamed for our allergic reactions, but I've read that the pollen from Goldenrod is too heavy to be airborne, so it's not a problem for us. #BloomScrolling #goldenrod #GoodMorning

Researchers have discovered that plants, specifically goldenrods, exhibit remarkable problem-solving skills. These plants can perceive their environment and adapt their responses based on past experiences, challenging the traditional notion that intelligence requires a central nervous system.
