💛 In the garden

A sunflower is beginning to bloom. The petals have completely unfurled on the top right and top left, but not in the top center or around the sides and bottom. Because of the unique petal arrangement, it looks like a heart shape.

The first phase of the sweet pea teepee is complete. #garden

5 White flower pots sit in a circle on a green lawn. The pots have flowers in them. Each pot has a branch stick into it; the 5 branches touch at the top in a teepee fashion. The tips of the branches have bright yellow forsythia blooms.

Things are real bad, but today a pair of hawks were hanging out in my backyard and I think that's neat! Terrible photo quality, but have to share the proof!

The first round of raked leaves went directly into my garden that's fenced/walled on all sides so they won't blow out. The second round was mulched (less ideal but it blows around too much here). #leavetheleaves

Wrapping up my daughter's present 🦄

A package is wrapped in brown paper. On the paper is a hand drawn unicorn head sketched in black. Pink and purple ribbons are glued on to look like a name. A birthday hat (conical, silver, with purple faux flowers on the base and point) is placed on top of the package to look like the unicorn is wearing it.

Already getting so many more ideas ( #nativeplants) from my last visit to Garden in the Woods. A few of my faces from my last walk, plus striped maple, which stopped me in my tracks from two directions.

Spotted joepye weed blossom in varied ranges of openness. It is white to purplish pink, and it smelled delightful.

Sweet pepper bush blossom. It is a dozen or so small white flowers with golden stamen on a leafed woody stem.

A Virginia meadow sweet flower. It is bright pink and violet-shaped, with droopy, bright yellow stamen coming out. The overall effect is quite gaudy.

Purple pitcher plant with sign: "Sarracenia purpura. Purple pitcher plant. Sarraceniacae. Midwest to E Coast." Five green pieces with red tips grow from a central base.

Every fall I think it will be my last year planting tulips because I'm on the native plant train. But every spring I get something like this and if makes me so fucking happy. 🌱

There's a lot of real bad stuff going on, but my garden is waking up and that's enough to keep me going.
