Have you seen this funky plant?! 🤩 it looks like a giant cotton swab or truffula tree from The Lorax (by Dr. Seuss) when it goes to seed! Western anemone, white pasqueflower, or western pasqueflower are common names for this buttercup species (Anemone occidentalis). They have white to cream coloured flowers that usually emerge pretty quickly after the snow melts. Once they go to seed, they get their truffula tree appearance with hairs attached to the seeds. These hairs aid the seeds in dispersal via the wind 💨! I encountered these plants in @revelstoke! Western anemones like to grow in mid to high elevations and are found from British Columbia to California, and in Idaho and Montana. #naturalist #naturalists #naturenerd #plantnerd #biodiversity #revelstoke #therealstoke #hellobc #explorebc #inthemountains #wildflowerseason #flower #botany #buttercup #buttercups #hikemore #earthexperience #alpineplants #bcnature #herpnwlife #natureatitsbest #thelorax #nativeplants #naturehub #naturebrilliance

An aster variety that makes an especially amazing cut flower for blooms late summer! 😊 These are called China Asters, or “Callistephus chinensis”, an annual, which are grown from seed. Here’s some things I’ve learned growing these beauties! Sun: Full sun Spacing: 9” apart Soil: Rich, well drained Sowing: Start indoors 6 weeks before average last spring frost date. Cover seeds with 1/8 inch of soil. Plant outside as soon as you are able to in the spring (after threat of frost passes) for two reasons. 1) They do not bounce back from being root bound. 2) Flowering starts when daylight starts to lessen in late summer. This means they will bloom on whatever their current stem height is, so they really need planted out right at your last frost date to get those long stems. No pinching needed. Asters are very susceptible to a disease called “aster yellows”, spread by leafhoppers. If this is something in your area like it is in mine, keep a mesh covering over the row until the plants are too big for it. I also struggle with rust affecting mine and ruining stems (dark spots caused by a fungal disease). These have been a learning curve for me and I’m still trying to figure them out better and how to keep them happiest- I’m determined! Let me know if you have grown these and what your experience has been! 😊 Or what flower is currently giving you a headache 😂 Variety shown is called “Lady Coral Lavender” 🩶 (The black film is a corn based biodegradable film called “bio 360”- not plastic and breaks down within a season 😊) #growflowers #gardentips #backyardgarden #growyourown #gardeninspo #cottagegarden #flowerfarm

Wander through the wisteria, blooming for a short time in the lower Rose Garden. 💜

Willow Tree Swarm. A colony swarmed and landed in this Willow tree about 20 feet away from the hive. It was easy to collect out of this small tree and with it being so close to the ground. A few gentle shakes and the bees landed in the trap. The next morning, at first light, the swarm was relocated to its new home to settle in and orient to that location.

Woodland wildflowers only show up for a short time each spring. They bloom in a brief window, taking advantage of sunlight before the tree canopy fills in. For a short moment, the woodland floor becomes a carpet of flowers...and then they’re gone.
