The image features a large white flower with ruffled petals, prominently displayed in the foreground. The flower has a bright yellow center with numerous stamens, and a bee is perched on it, likely collecting nectar. The petals are slightly crinkled and have a delicate texture, with some edges showing a hint of yellow. The background is a dark green, suggesting a garden setting with foliage, and the lighting indicates it is a sunny day. The flower is the main subject, with the bee adding a dynamic element to the scene.</p> <p>Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

A fearless gardener shares some of her nonrules – GardenRant

Fearless Gardening Cover 550x658

Do you know what I hate? Being told how I’m supposed to do something. Phrases like “that’s just how it’s done…” or “everybody does it that way” always get my hackles up. Usually, the person giving the advice has nothing but the best intentions, but I still end up questioning why I should listen. Just because that’s how everyone does it doesn’t mean it’s how I want to do it. I’m not “everyone” and neither are you.

My Top 30 Native Plants for the Garden – Harmony in the Garden

My Top 30 Native Plants for the Garden via Harmony in the Garden [Shared]

I’ve been designing gardens with native plants for decades, using both California natives and those native to the different regions of the US.

And, after all these years, I’ve come up with my Top 30 favorite native plants that thrive in a garden setting.

What makes these plants a favorite?

Most importantly, they must reliably return year after year.

Following that, they must also be a stunning addition to the garden (hopefully offering more than one season of interest) while attracting loads of pollinators.

Interesting Plant: Firecracker Brodiaea (Dichelostemma ida-maia)

Discovered this via the article 13 unique and interesting plants to grow in your garden on the Greener Living Blog. There are quite a few plants I will highlight here in future posts. — Douglas

Firecracker Brodiaea (Dichelostemma ida-maia)

Dichelostemma ida-maia is a species of flowering plant known as firecracker flower. It is native to northern California and southern Oregon, where it grows in mountain forests, woodlands, and coastal meadows. It is also widely cultivated as an ornamental plant for its showy crimson and cream flowers.

Dichelostemma ida-maia is a perennial which erects a tall, naked stem topped with an umbel of six to 20 flowers. Each flower is a cylindrical red tube two to three centimeters long. The tip of each flower lobe curls back to reveal a shiny white underside. The curls rim the mouth of the tubular flower in a corona, surrounding the small anthers and a stalked ovary. The flower hangs when it is in anthesis and holds itself erect as the fruit develops. One umbel may have some hanging flowers and some erect fruiting flowers at the same time. — Wikipedia
