"Skerries Wild Bee Festival" North County Dublin today allowed me completely nerd-out on #pollinators up close! 🔍 Gorgeous location of the old Skerries Mills 🌻🍃🌻 #solitarybees #hoverflies #mimics #nativeflowers #nature #speirgorm #summersolstice #ireland

#Hardhack aka #RoseSpirea - #SpiraeaDouglasii

#NativePlant in #PacificNorthwest regions. We've used this plant at several habitat/ecological restoration areas - across Southern #VancouverIsland. It is an excellent plant for riparian revegetation & pollinators love their bright pink, tiny flowers too.

#PNW #Indigenous peoples use the plant for making brooms & for hanging seafood to cook.

It grows in almost any soil conditions, even very dry & gravelly soil but prefers boggy/wet areas.

I was so in love with all the #NatureTrails this morning; with hundreds of purple #camas flowers blooming all around me 😍

Veronica spicata "Red Fox" - Spike Speedwell
Asclepias tuberosa - Butterfly Weed (milkweed)

I manage what is technically a pollinator garden in my area, but everyone calls it "The Butterfly Garden." In addition to flora chosen to reflect our status as a Monarch Waystation, we are committed to native plant selections that encourage ALL butterflies and moths (we have 200+ species in our area), bees and other beneficial insects, and of course, birds.

This photo shows some of our Red Fox Veronica with Butterfly Weed in the background. Can you spot the bee?

Two types of bees (I forget which), painted crawling on fleabane and on paintbrush. All inside tiny oyster shells, of course.

My shells are sold in the shop at the Seattle Art Museum. (Although I think these have been sold already.)
