My spouse was not a fan of this garden Sedum cultivar, which came with the house, so today I tore it out to make room for more milkweed, ironweed, Baptisia, and Amsonia. #nativeplants 🌱 edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/...

New flower bed for the coneflower! Ready for them to take over #gardening #coneflower #nativeplants #pollinators
Jeepers. I can’t remember if I posted these native plant babies to y’all yet. Asclepias tuberosa, Butterflyweed, Asclepias incarnata, Swamp Milkweed, and Symphyotrichum georgianum, Georgia aster. #nativeplants #flowerreport #gardens
The structure of this Elderberry panicle is so graceful! A slight breeze was blowing, the branches of the structure swished right left up down. It took a dozen tries to capture the flower entirely in frame. How do the pollinators manage to land on such a moving target? Beautiful. #nativeplants
🌼 redring milkweed 🌿
Asclepias variegata
#nativeplants #flowerreport
🌼 carolina horsenettle 🌿
Solanum carolinense
often considered to be weeds, invasive in many places around the world, fairly unpleasant to try to remove 🤷🏼♀️ but they're native here in the southeast u.s.

Last week, the Monarchs came by. Today on the grounds we have striped caterpillars munching away. #nativeplants doing what they do. Choreography of lives. Flowers have been around 150 m years. Butterflies have flitted about, maybe 60m years? How long has this dance been going on?
This Phlox is one of many native plants that is in imminent danger from reckless suburban expansion, and with them goes any hope of reconnecting ourselves to the real, natural world.

🌸 woodland pinkroot 🌿
Spigelia marilandica
when i first saw some in the wild last year my eyeballs shot out of their sockets like a cartoon wolf and i had to crawl through mud under a rusty old bobwair fence into a patch of poison ivy to take a closer look

Ceanothus americanus | new jersey tea
Oenothera fruticosa | narrow-leaves sundrops
Scutellaria integrifolia | skullcap

#nativeplants
🌿 I finally saw one of these in bloom, which I have wanted to see for over a year. Not much to look at, but it’s a great nectar source in a time when there isn’t much.
A shame there aren’t more of it and its cousin.

12. Allegheny chinkapin
Castanea pumila
The only chestnut species that really survived the chestnut blight that killed off their bigger cousins.

My front porch potting area this afternoon. All the tiny babies are now in pots with room to grow. There were 50-ish snakeroot seedlings and almost that many vervain, so def blew by the 100 plant mark. I'll give them some time to grow stronger roots, then plant or give to friends. #nativeplants 🌱
Today they had a very long list of available free seedlings, from which I received the following:
Butterfly weed
Willow bluestar
Little bluestem
Dense blazing star
White snakeroot
Early goldenrod
Blue false indigo
White vervain
Kind of incredible.

🌿 softhair marbleseed 🌿
Lithospermum molle ssp. molle
hairy green flowers, grows in limestone prairies by cedar glades
2-4 dozen populations in middle TN, likely extirpated elsewhere. hard to keep track of due to taxonomic changes & similarity to other sp.s & ssp.s 😵💫
#nativeplants #flowerreport
🌿 Agrimonia parviflora | harvest lice has measly flowers (as the latin implies) but amazing leaves
#nativeplants
Flowers of the day 🌿
Asclepias variegata | redring milkweed
Tephrosia virginiana | goat’s rue
Rosa carolina | pasture rose
Galium uniflorum | one-flowered bedstraw (not a great pic but look how tiny)

💮 downy wood mint 🌿
Blephilia ciliata
these wood mint flowers look like miniature bee balm flowers; they were formerly lumped into the same genus in fact
#nativeplants #flowerreport
🌸 tennessee coneflower 🌿
Echinacea tennesseensis
these only grow in the heart of the nashville basin.
in 2011 they were removed from the federal endangered species list due to successful preservation efforts by the nature conservancy and the state government 👍🏼

I recently added some baby native woods roses to my garden. Then I found some out in the wild and they smell amazing and also the bugs were VIBING and I'm excited for future pollinator raves in my yard. Please choose #nativeplants or single-flowered roses - bugs don't prefer double roses. #虫 🌱🌿
🌸 limestone fameflower 🌿
Phemeranthus calcaricus
this limestone cedar glade celebrity can be found as far away as texas if you look hard enough. but i recommend trying to find them in middle TN where are most common (still rare though)
#nativeplants #flowerreport
“white” water lily | Nymphaea odorata ssp. odorata 🌿
To the confusion of everyone in the botany group chat, this common plant of ponds (like this beaver pond) can occasionally be pink, although according to the Flora of Virginia it isn’t common.
There is a pink northern subspecies.
