New growth could be appearing in the next few weeks, depending on coming weather ( a few warm days coming, then more rain and snow...lol) but meantime last year's growth is still delivering in the Xeric/Native Beds (includes some near natives and exotics that fit the habitats) including a cute (very ephemeral) melt pool and a patch of #MarginalGarden #garden

A bright glasshouse at RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Harrogate hosts an impressive rock garden filled with succulent plants and alpine species, creating a haven for nature photography. Sunlight streams through the slanted windows, illuminating the carefully arranged stones and desert-style plantings. Visitors stroll along the smooth pathways, pausing to admire the intricate #BotanicalGarden displays that thrive in this sheltered environment. Blending the charm of a #RockGarden with the diversity of #SucculentPlants, it offers a tranquil escape amidst the natural beauty of North Yorkshire.

Stage 2 of my little rock garden is complete. We had enough of the right sized aggregate and some pea gravel on hand to mulch the slope and most of the scree.
Micro weeding before spreading the aggregate was the hardest part. I left some local volunteers, including the ridiculously tall fleabane, just because I like them. They'll eventually be replaced by chosen imports. -

It seems like the #TimeOfFlowers #season has barely begun and I'm already hopelessly behind on sharing photos! Things move fast at this time of year, new things opening every day or so, previous waves of flowering wrapping up.. These are from 10 days ago, some finished or on the way out.. White Draba dedeana Yellow Draba aizoides and D. bruniifolia ssp olympica. Tulipa urumiensis (or something..) #garden #RockGarden #spring #NaturalGardening #Alberta #Canada #z3

CW: cute bees on flowers
In the #Latvian #pagan tradition, we are now in the #TimeOfFlowers #season and more are popping up in the #garden every day (wild also, but more slowly). The #bees are ready and on the job. Here are some neighbour's #honeybee and tiny #WildBees enjoying the small #flowers of a #Tulip in the #RockGarden. #BloomScrolling #Florespondence #insects #Alberta #Canada

It's garden planning time in our neck of the woods and I'm working on a planting list for the small rock garden I built last summer. Any suggestions or discussion of suitable plants would be welcome.
So far I have 2 small sedums to move in from a temporary location and an abundance of wild strawberry and creeping thyme all over the place.
The garden is south facing on a slope in full sun, North American climate Zone 4a, min winter temp -30C to -35C. There's a paved path on the south and west sides and a wall of the house on the east. This makes it fairly warm, and thus dry, in spite of the 80 to 100 cm of precipitation (much of that snow) it gets every year.

CW: beetle on flower
#WildflowerWednesday #WildflowerHour + #invert #InsectThursday
A bit of a cheat on the first 2 # : this is a native but not local Erigeron that I haven't settled on an id for; from seed collected in the foothills, it's in a semi-xeric berm/ #RockGarden.
The star of these shots, though, is of course the Trichodes ornatus Ornate Checkered #Beetle one of the prettiest local beetles I've had the pleasure to see- a few times in recent summers. #insects #nature #Alberta #gardening -
A short #video- collecting some wild #Arnica #seed, and scattering it, along with some #RockGarden plant seed, in a #MarginalGarden area on the acreage.

This is a YouTube link, #Spectra #Peertube link to follow (slightly smaller file, plus it seems Spectra is now auto-generating transcriptions of the speech in videos, I haven't checked to see how it is!)

#FlowersOnFriday Given the forecast for next week, this *could* be the last time for this year I'll be posting things still flowering outdoors!
Plenty of unposted #flower pics to get through winter, besides the season's own beauty!

This is #SevenOnSunday from a week ago, but I was so late with it, I just left it for this week- then still didn't have oomph to post it after my gross weekend of work...lol
This set is a reminder that I #RockGarden not only for #plants but for the #rocks !(more details in replies- also a couple of photo bombs #insects with cropped photos).

A favorite spot in our garden. My partner Lupe’s rock garden, with a cement bench next to the opening into our Lilac hedge. A very special place. Easy to imagine a hobbit or cute furry emerging from the lilacs to rest on the bench. That’s Thyme growing in between the pavers. #garden #gardening #GardenersOfMastodon #rockgarden #Oregon #RogueValley #SouthernOregon

So far in my life, #spring has always come, after winter, and even #summer after that, so I believe it will happen again, even if it doesn't seem possible on mornings like this- below -30C
