A freshly transplanted beardtongue seedling in front of a log.
October 1, 2025 🌱 My latest acquisition: large-flowered beardtongue.
Yes, that tiny seedling 😁
It’s been dry alright!

A grass-leaved goldenrod plant with narrow leaves and just a dab of yellow flowers.

24.09.2025 12:42 — 👍 32 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0September 23, 2025 🌱 The blue-stemmed goldenrod decided to grow sideways instead of up.
It’s not broken. It’s just… horizontal.
Besides that minor quirk, it seems to be doing fine.
September 22, 2025 🌱 An island of amsonia in a sea of frost aster.
The amsonia is still bright green — no fall color yet.
September 21, 2025 🌱 ‘Palace Purple‘ coral bells, demurely blooming.
22.09.2025 02:10 — 👍 25 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0September 20, 2025 🌱 White snakeroot in bloom… but not the one I bought and planted and put in a tomato cage not for support but because its foliage is rather nondescript and I was worried I’d accidentally pull it.
Turns out there was also a snakeroot volunteer in my garden. Glad I didn’t pull it!
Digging bulbs out of landscape rock does sound like a special kind of hell.

Fingertip for scale - so tiny!
September 17, 2025 🌱 The first frost aster flower.
(Say that five times fast.)
September 16, 2025 🌱 The tall bellflower is blooming again. On the same stems as round one.
I didn’t know that was a thing a plant could do.
September 15, 2025 🌱 I love it when the afternoon sunlight highlights a plant.
This is late boneset, but not the enormous one. Not yet at least.
🥰

We ran the AC today, but I can almost smell that fall weather!
September 13, 2025 🌱 My beautiful dogbane got dug up and killed during an underground cable installation. That’s its dried-up stem in the lower left of the photo.
Then this new dogbane sprouted up. Not quite in the same spot — several inches away. But I’m guessing they’re related.
