Can you see why they call this #ontarionativeplant #troutlily ? Check out those gorgeous speckled, trout-shaped leaves! Today we found our first one in flower along #duffinscreek . Another lovely native flower choice for your garden!! Keep your eyes out for these beauties!
I`m so in love with this Ontario native plant, one of our earliest blooming herbaceous flowers, #bloodroot . All snuggled up in its leaf cloak until its flower petals fall, then unfolds to show off its magnificent curves. Keep an eye out for this bright-eyed beauty, happening along a woodland trail near you (or in your garden if you`re lucky đŸ˜‰).

What a sweet and seductive time of year. #mayapple #nativeplantsofontario
Happy spring!! The land is tempting me away from academic marking and back into her beauty. Gardening will soon begin! If you are feeling drawn to tidy, putting a crisp edge is a nice way to freshen the beds without causing too much disturbance to biota.
See you soon!!
First native flowers on the landscape come from our trees. #softmaple
Loving the texture, hues, and wildlife activity in this gorgeous septic garden that I built last year. Loaded with native grasses and forbs, this garden is a natural bird feeder at this time of year. It adds so much ecological value to the otherwise lawn-dominated landscape.
12-3 Millenium Park, Peterborough.
Come feel the brilliant energy out here today. The rain is not stopping us!!! Celebrating pollinator conservation and fund raising for the overwintering reserves of the Monarch butterfly in Mexico!!
What would you NOT plant in your garden if you were to start over?
This is my veggie patch edition.

Last weekend of summer. This septic garden is still taking my breath away. Love the combo of Aster and Russian sage.
Built in summer 2022.
