I love it when I find hard-to-source native plants fruiting by the side of the road! This is American fly-honeysuckle, Lonicera canadensis. Not endangered, but locally uncommon and rare in the trade. Hoping to collect seed to grow for next year <3

Guess what time it is? It's almost time for our spring #nativeplant sale at Red Trillium Gardens! (PM for address because this is also my home and I want to make sure you're a real person). #nativeplantsofnewengland #nativeplantsofthenortheast
I don’t think we should eliminate golf courses for the sake of the environment I just think we should let the environment take over the existing courses and make golfers use the new wild courses, all obstacles included.
The hepaticas are blooming in Massachusetts! Took this photo when I was doing my annual retreat in western MA. #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnewengland
Save the date for our spring #nativeplants sale, Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 11am to 5pm in Lunenburg, MA! Please PM for the address; this is my home, so I like to make sure y'all are real people before handing out the address). #nativeplantsofnewengland #nativeplantsofthenortheast
The perils of following native plant-themed accounts from all over the world: the envy you feel when you see photos of beautiful plants from warmer areas when there's still significant snow cover outside your window.
Not quite the season here, but this is a native favorite of mine. I took out a Norway maple and discovered a poor suffering one in my yard! (It's now thriving). (And it's gonna be Cornus for me until ITIS says otherwise; fight me, Arthur Haines)
Georgia Native Plant Society@ganativeplants.bsky.social · 6mo agoFlowering dogwood (Benthamidia florida, synonym Cornus florida) is one of our most iconic southern native trees. A medium-sized tree, it achieves a wide, graceful shape under the partial shade of tall neighbors like pines and tuliptrees (Liriodendron tulipifera). (1/2) #nativeplants

I have a dirty secret, as someone who works with plants and cares about the web of life: I hate winter. I know it's important. But I just want there to be flowers again.
Some #FallbackFlowers from Aug 22, 2021 at Ausable Point in Peru, NY. #nativeplants #nativeplantsofthenortheast
Do you have ants in your #nativeplants? What do you do about them? The answer might be "nothing." Read the blog post here: redtrilliumgardens.com/posts/how-an...
Apparently 4 years and 6mo ago today I visited Garden in the Woods (one of many visits!) Here's one of the #nativeplants I saw: Rhexia virginica (Virginia meadow-beauty). #FallbackFlowers #nativeplantsofnewengland
Oooh, ooh, I have something for this! (ahem, a day late). Corvus frugilegus, the rook, seen on the walking path to Stonehenge this past November. Not native to my area, ofc, but vulnerable in its native range in Europe.
Mike Saunders 🇺🇦@hardwaterhacker.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe #BirdOfTheDay theme is #posted - birds on a post or fence. This is the Upland Sandpiper. Despite the sandpiper names, these are grassland birds that prefer tallgrass prairies and are frequently found on fence posts. #birds #wildlife #nature #photography #PhotographersUnited
#Fallback to August 6, 2020 with herb Robert (Geranium robertianum) #FallbackFlowers #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnewengland
I wouldn't say I *love* it, but I very much appreciate the drab looking Boehmeria cylindrica, smallspike false nettle, as it's the host plant for numerous butterflies/moths, including the eastern comma, the question mark, and the red admiral. And it's a #nativeplant of New England!
Learn Dirt@learndirt.bsky.social · 7mo ago🌿 What’s the ugliest plant you love anyway? (Admit it, we all have one. 😂)
Wanna see what we're growing for 2026? Our much-anticipated list is now live! redtrilliumgardens.com/posts/whats-... Winter sowing is already well underway... only slightly delayed by being exiled from the plant dungeon for construction!
Leaving Cali today. Don't wanna go. But here, have some #californianativeplants I saw at Point Lobos in Carmel.
Me, an East Coast gal, on the west coast: "This Menzies guy sure was busy." #westcoastplants #californiaplants #californiabotany
Did you know there’s a California native plant garden on the roof of CalAcademy of Sciences? Neither did I, until Friday! #nativeplants #nativeplantsofcalifornia #calacademyofsciences
Oh I probably should have tagged this #nativeplants #nativeplantsofcalifornia
Red Trillium Gardens - 59h Gulf of Maine Coastal Plain@redtrilliumgardens.bsky.social · 11mo agoI am going to Santa Cruz next week for a wedding, and the bride is telling me all the cool CA plants I need to see. Among them: toyon, which is a weird little plant that looks like it should be in the holly family but is actually an apple? (tribe Maleae) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterom...

Um, hi, is this thing still on? I seem to have forgotten Bluesky existed for, uh... six months? Anyway, I completed my #nativeplant Studies certificate with Native Plant Trust. Here are some photos of my portfolio!
Nursery tasks for the day: - Taking inventory and updating it on my website - Promoting our appearance at the Lunenburg Artisan's Market on Sunday. ... and more, but those are highest priority.
How did I forget to post the final day of #nativeplants #nationalpoetrymonth? This one is "I’uni Kwi Athi? Hiatho." by Roberta Hill Whiteman. The ground I was born to wants me to leave. I’ve searched everywhere to tell you my eyes are with the hazels. Read more on ko-fi: ko-fi.com/post/Iuni-Kw...
We're in the home stretch with #nativeplants #nationalpoetrymonth! Today we have "Red" by Cheryl Savageau. "Though acid falls from the clouds maples have gathered on the hillsides in every direction See how they celebrate They are wearing their brightest dresses." ko-fi.com/post/Red--Ch...
More #nativeplants #nationalpoetrymonth: "The Yellow Violet" by William Cullen Bryant, about Viola pubescens. "When beechen buds begin to swell, And woods the blue-bird’s warble know, The yellow violet’s modest bell Peeps from the last year’s leaves below." Read more: ko-fi.com/post/The-Yel...
