Purple #deadnettles growing amidst white & red #clovers. Both attract #pollinators.

I took a cutting of the Japonica plant. I also took a cutting & 2 seed heads from this plant - Veronica pinguifolia - which is native to NZ but popular with landscapers here on Vancouver Island. It produces multiple, gorgeous, small white flowers in Summer. Their seed heads are pretty too.

I've alerted Saanich Parks with GPS coordinates on some #invasive #EnglishLaurel #plants in #ColquitzPark. This one was pretty large & is starting to bud out.

#Cotoneaster #berries. They're similar to firethorn plants but are thornless with serated leaf margins. Their flowers & fruits are toxic for humans but have excellent #WildlifeValue.
These are #larval food plants for several insects. Their flowers attract many #pollinators. Their fruits are eaten by multiple birds - blackbirds especially love eating these berries in Winter.
It's been cultivated by landscapers for wildlife value & soil erosion prevention. It's grown in many public & private areas around here - I see it almost everywhere. Birds have spread their seeds afar.

I don't know which variety of cotoneaster this is - there are a lot of varieties.

Spotted at Burnside Medical Clinic parking lot.

I took these #cuttings in late summer, but unfortunately did not note what they were from. I would guess they are #Crataegus, but I am surprised by the size of the leaves and the absence of thorns. Something from the edge of the forest/wild hedges, eastern France. Native species are C. monogyna, C. laevigata, C. rhipidophylla etc.

Can it be a crataegus? (More in alt texts. I don't need the exact species because of hybridisations.)

I can't get a plant identifier to get even close to IDing this plant with the yellow flower and spiky leaves. It showed up this year in my wildflower patch; it's the only one. The subsequent blooms have been yellow, but with orange in the center. Probably a weed, but one person's weed is another person's flower.

Gorgeous textures on Hart's-tongue #Ferns 💚
These ferns are very similar in appearance to bird's nest ferns.

The #seedpods #catkins on #SilkTassel bush look like long dangling earrings, from afar.
Garrya elliptica, the coast silk-tassel or silk tassel bush. It's native to coastal Oregon & California. Many WA & BC landscapers use it for their gardens work - especially as a windbreaker bush.

Can anyone tell me what this strange growth is please? A bit like a gall growing on a nettle. #nettle #urtica #plantid

Time to cook and eat the #amaranth grain I harvested from my garden last year!

I believe this is smooth pigweed / Amaranthus hybridus, which would make it a native plant:

:inaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/233752654

I don't have confirmation of that species ID, though I'm confident in the genus (and edibility). I'd appreciate #plantID help from #botany fans!

Harvesting this ~1/4 cup of grain involved carefully blowing the chaff off the top of a bowl with my breath, covering my porch in seed.

#DeathCamas - all parts of plant are #toxic & shouldn't be handled. Only bee that can tolerate its toxins is the specialist mining bee. Toxic to animals, especially sheep. Humans have been poisoned after ingesting bulbs; kids have been poisoned after ingesting flowers & flower buds.

It's wild carrot season, also known as Queen Anne's Lace, or bird's nest. It's one of the most mis-identified plants I see here on the internet, which is dangerous because the lookalikes range from bad-rash to deadly-if-ingested. Supposedly how Socrates died, if you believe the tall tale.

See that little dark purpley central flower? It's supposed to make it look like a bug is already feasting on it, and it's the surest way to make an ID. Now, not every single wild carrot flower has this little doot, but if I'm planning on harvesting, I only take the ones that do, just so I can be absolutely certain I have the correct plant.

#Spiraea douglasii is in the #RoseFamily native to western #NorthAmerica AKA #hardhack & #DouglasSpirea & #Steeplebush & #RoseSpirea

#Indigenous #FirstPeoples used this #plant to make brooms & to hang seafood to cook.
It's used in #riparian #revegetation projects for hardiness/quick growth.
