We’ve been waiting for you! Our first tiger swallowtail butterfly, ᎧᎹᎹ ᎢᏣᎩ in Cherokee, visit of the year #nativeplants #butterflies

Monarda punctata, a funky flower favorite, with stacked caps of pale pink and light green blooms #nativeplants

This is amazing-- a page of Mi'kmaq hieroglyphs or gomgwejui'gasit, with their meanings in Mi'kmaq and some in English; these were written by a Naskapi-Innu man named Gabriel in the 1790s.

July is monarda fistulosa month! Just as our milkweed blooms are disappearing, the lavender blooms of bee balm crank it up #nativeplants

Detweiler recommends butterfly bushes be replaced with plants that can support caterpillars. She suggests any native milkweed, golden rods, asters, sunflowers and phlox. www.wshu.org/2026-06-25/b...

Butterfly bushes are an 'ecological trap,' native plant advocate says

Butterfly bushes do not support all stages of a butterfly's life. Ecosystem advocates say gardeners should consider planting alternatives that are native to the region.

Spiranthes eatonii | Eaton’s Lady Tresses. I honestly thought these were extirpated from the park I work at, but then someone mowed the path and they came roaring back after years of not being seen. lol. lmao. happy tears. S1, highest concern in Virginia #nativeplants

It must be clubbed Mydas fly season! We spotted this guy in our native plants today too. He’s currently hiding in the cherry plum tree. What a cool pollinator!

Checking out the bustling pollinator business out back. Saw this huge dude in the mountainmint, blurry video still was enough to identify as a CLUBBED MYDAS FLY! Native to the region. It’s a mimic and really confused me at first lol

A few winged friends spotted today in my prairie garden 💚 #butterfly #dragonfly #nativeplants #nature

Planted today now that the heat has broken: 6 little ᎦᏱᎪᎩ redbud saplings, a ᏥᏳᎦᎵ New Jersey tea start, 2 asters, and several clumps of ᎠᏂ ᎢᎾᎨ ᎡᎯ wild strawberry #nativeplants

Another of my enemies: invasive multiflora rose. Taking over roadsides and forests here too.

That pretty white flower taking over all of Halifax is not so pretty. Multiflora rose, an aggressive, noxious invasive species that forms dense thickets, chokes out native plants, and hosts rose rosette disease, which is fatal to other roses. #Halifax #HaliSky #NovaScotia

Look at the pollen pants on this little sweat bee. Daisy fleabane is always welcome to volunteer in our yard. 💛🖤 #nativeplants #bees

only holiday i recognize today

First monarch butterfly, ᎧᎹᎹ ᎤᏲᏎ in ᏣᎳᎩ Cherokee, of the year! #nativeplants #butterflies

I actually don’t care what the founding fathers would say about the present and I don’t think you should either

A fritillary butterfly enjoyed the coneflower nectar for hours yesterday. When it moved on an Eastern yellow swallowtail came for hours. They were the only butterflies I saw, but they’re beautiful and it made me feel good that we had provided for them. #nativeplants #gardening #butterflies #maryland
