  1. The first Epimediums are starting to flower in the (recently expanded) woodland perennial section of our garden at Tilba Tilba. This is not a garden I have much to do with at all - and I don't really know for sure what varieties they might be - but I still really enjoy them every year! A few more went in this winter so looking forward to what might come out later in the season.

  6. #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.

  7. #November 27, 1970
    #OTD Karl Forster, #German #Plant #Breeder, died.

    At 18, he took over his family's Berlin nursery, which was a mess.

    Karl #Streamlined the #Business by #Simplifying his #Plant inventory. He was especially drawn to #Tough, #LowMaintenance, #Hardy #Perennials.

    Karl used 3 factors to determine whether a plant would be sold in his #Nursery: #Beauty, #Resilience, & #Endurance.

    Karl once wrote,
    "A #Garden without #Phlox is not only a sheer mistake but a #Sin against #Summer."
