What kind of butterfly is that?

The New England asters are popular with the insects here in the central US too! #nativePlants #pollinators

What's the name of that plant?

Scientists, companies, ex-NOAA staff race to restore axed climate data

I survived giving a presentation today!

Tye-dye mushrooms!

A pair of tall, narrow leaved pants with pink flowers blooming at the bottom of a central spike of flower buds. Surrounded by a patch of short green plants and a sidewalk in the background

My obedient plant is blooming! I guess it lives up to the name so far...

I think I found oyster #mushrooms in my neighbor's yard. I should ask if they want to be #fungifriends 😀 🍄‍🟫

Apparently morning glory leaves are delicious #urbanWildlife #wildlife

Yep, Union Station from the top of the WWI memorial. That's exactly it

Pink mushroom pieces, cut and ready to cook, on a gray cutting board with a small, red- handled paring knife nearby.

These were some nice mushrooms! 😋🍄‍🟫 They came from a pink oyster Fruiting block from north spore. #fungiFriends

Beautiful!

It looks great! And you can always add to it later

I stratified, but I didn't know about scarifying yet. I've learned a LOT in this first attempt at growing native seeds. It's just frustrating when you have to wait a whole year to try again! 😆

Lupine is vexing me this year. Tried growing some from seed and it didn't come up. Then bought one at a nursery only to find out it's the western version, not the kind native to the eastern US. 😢 #nativePlants

What's your favorite eggplant recipe? Although at that size you could eat them like cherry tomatoes

My cat just brought a grape to bed to play with 🤣😺🍇

History does get blurry...

The tiny good things happening today. Eastern swallowtail caterpillars on my dill plants, a dragonfly on some straw, my native petunia is blooming, and the blue wild indigo seedlings are still alive

😢

What a cool concept!

Tall, bright yellow flowers with darker yellow centers and narrow green leaves with a background of other greenery.

Another volunteer mystery plant ftw: coreopsis! #nativePlants

This must be how you make love potion number 9

Awesome! I want a bambu so bad, but I can't quite justify it right now

That's so cool! 😀👻 You might have to move the goth garden to them lol

Good news: there's native lady beetles in my yard!
Bad news: that's because my rhubarb is covered with aphids! 🤦

Which muppet is this? 😆
