My view up a ladder today pinching the candles on a Niwaki style pine. Ornamental garden trees with native oak and ash trees in the background

Henderson's shooting stars (Dodecatheon hendersonii) blooming in the oak woodland at my place. I am honored to be the caretaker of these timeless plants!

Pacific bleeding hearts, one of my favorite flowers. I have them available in 4" pots at my nursery.

Extinction is one of the most depressing things there is. I totally get wanting to reverse it.

BUT.

There are things you can be doing right now to PREVENT further extinctions. Consider how you're using your property (even if you rent). Can you create habitat on the area you control? This helps!

That's a good name. And a beautiful creek!

I love Grindelias! Thank you for growing them!

Erythranthe guttata, the seep monkeyflower. All they need to thrive is sun, water, and a bit of soil. Just like me! Except I need pizza too.

Hi! I have had success sowing seeds in pots in fall or winter and letting them cold stratify outside over the winter. They seem to germinate quite well in the spring! If your seeds don't germinate this year, they will next year.

Thank you! I heard you gave a great presentation at the gardening conference, which I unfortunately could not attend.

I would love to trade for some cat's ear lily bulbs when they are large enough to divide.

Godspeed and prayers for blowing up civilians too, apparently. Sickos!

Most of our remaining camas populations are mowed, plowed, or overgrazed. I propagated these seeds from a camas population in a local cemetary. The seedlings sure are eager!!! These will be planted in local natural areas and gardens.

Spring is in full swing at my native plant nursery. Wildflowers both wild and cultivated are springing forth! The bees have awakened. They are hungry!
