The Lomatium will go in the large garden island near a Garry Oak. And on the shrub steppe mound at the driveway. Mules Ears can be highly aggressive, so the plan is to plant them in an old unused irrigation pond. There are some snow berries and woods roses that have come up in the last few years, that are starting to form a small thicket. I may also try a couple amongst the aspen saplings in the pasture behind the stables.
Holy smokes! I gave the seedlings their first feed on Friday - a very dilute Dr Earthβs βfertilizer teaβ (I was aiming for .5-.5-.5). Left for 3 days and got home to find lots of new foliage and roots! Guess Iβm potting up this week! The Wyethia and Lomatium especially put on a lot of leaf size. π±

18.02.2026 17:01 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Sticky Getanium seedlings in a six-pack. No germination in the two front cells.
The large, deeply lobed, dark green leaves of Sticky geranium are in the foreground, with their pink blooms above. This is one of the plants in my garden I collected seed from. To the right is Idaho fescue, left are the leaves of bearded iris. Middle of photo are Penstemon Barbatus, Rudbeckia, Rocky Mtn bee plant and Annual Sunflowers. Up top to the left is an elk eaten fir, with ridge and sky behind.
These native Sticky Geranium (Geranium viscosissimum) seedlings are just 2 weeks old! First time growing these, I canβt believe how fast theyβve grown, with only water and grow lights. Not a great germination rate, but Iβll look for seedlings around the parent plants in a couple of months.
