Stuff your face there, bee. Rough Blazing Star (Liatris aspera) is just cool. #WhatYouPlantMatters #nativeplants #naturallandscape #pollinatorgarden #GrowNative

Mums are fine, but have you tried Liatris?! Rough Blazing Star (Liatris aspera) is just cool. #WhatYouPlantMatters #nativeplants #naturallandscape #pollinatorgarden #GrowNative

Political spam texts, calls, mailers and signage are everywhere.
I want a yard sign that says, "Be Excellent to Each Other."

Blooming again! Woodland Spiderwort (Tradescantia ernestiana) Surrounded by Wild Ginger (Asarum canadense) and Wild Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) #WhatYouPlantMatters #nativeplants #naturallandscape #pollinatorgarden #GrowNative

Around the corner, Compass Plant (Silphium laciniatum)! This plant can reach 8 ft tall, although this particular plant typically flops over without enough support plants...I'll probably stake it. #WhatYouPlantMatters #nativeplants #naturallandscape #GrowNative #pollinatorgarden

Wild Hairy Petunia (Ruellia humilis)! A fantastic living mulch! #WhatYouPlantMatters #GrowNative #pollinatorgarden #nativeplants #naturallandscape

[Mark Ostendorf @Green_MarkO]

Wild Hairy Petunia (Ruellia humilis), Wild Violet (Viola sororia) and non-native stonecrop form a living mulch beside American Beauty Berry (Callicarpa americana), etc. in this bed #WhatYouPlantMatters #nativeplants #naturallandscape #pollinatorgarden #GrowNative

Two years ago all Rudbeckia hirta (biennial) which is now all gone and replaced by Monarda fistulosa (early succession perennial). What will come next in 1-2 years? Go go gadget backyard urban prairie.
