Update on the native wildflower shade garden . . .

Since my last post about the sharp-lobed hepatica several weeks ago, the wildflowers in the shade garden have made a significant push. All of the live plants I put in the ground last fall have made it through the winter, and many of the seeds I planted have germinated and sprouted. Quick survey:

Top: the spreading Jacob's ladder (Polemonium reptans) is mounding beautifully and positively dripping with violet-blue, bell-shaped flowers. The plant lures many pollinators, including bees, flies, butterflies, moths, and beetles. And that foliage is so lush and green . . .

Next one: woodland stonecrop (Sedum ternatum) has established itself in the nooks and crannies of one of my rock features and is getting ready to bloom.

Next two: although the sharp-lobed hepatica (Hepatica acutiloba) has nearly finished blooming, the real joy starts for me when the leathery, thrice-lobed leaves with their often deeply-variegated patterns begin to unfold. This is flat-out one of the most unique and gorgeous wildflowers of North America.

Next one: creeping woodland phlox (Phlox stolonifera) makes for an enchanting ground cover and will spread quite rapidly in the right conditions. I have strong feelings for all the native phlox species, but this one has stolen my heart. It's native to a narrow strip of the Appalachian Mountains from Georgia to Pennsylvania. In the spring around here, it absolutely lights up streambanks with its dainty pink to rose-colored flowers.

Next one: dwarf-crested iris (Iris cristata) is another lovely groundcover but beware - it spreads like wildfire. The lavender and yellow to orange-crested flowers are a treasure to behold from late April to early May. And its arrow-like foliage provides much-needed contrast in the garden.

Next: among the seeds I planted, the yellow pimpernel (Taenidia integerrima) is making the strongest push. The plant produces yellow-flowered umbels similar to golden Alexanders and is a high-value nectar source for many pollinators. It's also the host plant for the black swallowtail and Ozark swallowtail butterflies.

Next two: anyone who visits this Tumblr regularly needs no introduction to heartleaf foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia), my unofficial poster child for Appalachian spring. I simply would not have a native wildflower garden without it. One of my foamflowers is a hybrid (sugar and spice) cultivated for its deeply dissected leaves and intense variegation.

Last (but not least): my eastern red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) pretty much takes cares of itself - it's one of the best starter wildflowers for beginner gardeners, hardy and undemanding. But man, does it produce loads of beautiful red and yellow, bell-shaped flowers.

Purr

Iris, a dwarven druid, makes an executive decision when she hears Astarion crying during a trance. SFW mostly.

Iris Coldcreek was awoken by sounds coming from the text next to hers.

Astarion.

She heard cries and immediately got up, heading towards his tent as fast as she could. I’m a dwarf with short legs. I can only go so fast! Hold on, Astarion---help is on the way! Peeking her head inside, she saw him lying flat on his back, eyes leaking tears.

“Master…Master, please…I’ll bring you more! Please! Stop burning me, I beg of you!”

Oh gods, you poor man. You poor, poor man. What did that fucker do to you?

“Master, no! It HURTS!”

Heart pounding in her chest, Iris decided to do what she had done with an old adventuring friend who had frequent nightmares---wildshape into a cat and purr. Loudly. It’s cat time! A golden glow enveloped her as wildshaped into a frankly adorable, if I’m being honest orange tabby and slowly entered Astarion’s tent.

He continued to cry, his hands gripping the bedroll like his life depended on it. “Master…no…please, Master…”

She made her way to Astarion and eyed his chest. Perfect. Climbing onto his chest as carefully as I could, she curled up, closed her eyes, and began to purr. Just like Master Ywain said, “Healing comes in many forms, some most unexpected.” After a few moments, one of his hands began to gently pet her, causing her to purr more. Aw, he does like animals! Maybe he’s just not a fan of dogs.

“Hmmm, this is…” His ruby eyes opened, and he let out of a small shriek. “What the—”

Iris leapt off him and reached for his parasite.

Astarion, it’s Iris! Everything is okay. You’re alright!

“You just barged into my tent! While I was in a trance! What the hells is the matter with you!” He growled, now on his knees with his fists clenched. “Is this some kind of sick joke to you druids?”

No, no, no! I’m sorry. I really am. I…I heard you crying and went to check on you.

“Checking on me is one thing, but—”

I have an adventurer friend who went through some things and had horrible nightmares. What helped them was me in wildshape as a cat sleeping on their chest. I thought maybe that could help you too. Her rose-pink eyes glanced at the ground. I’m sorry. I promise you can feed on me longer tomorrow if you want.

“C-can you change back please?” He began rubbing his temples.

Iris leapt off his lap and came out of wildshape. “I—”

He lifted his head slightly to look at her, ruby eyes round and doe-like. “What you said about your friend---that was true?”

Huh? That’s what he wants to know? She nodded quickly. “Yes! Every night when we traveled together I’d wildshape and sleep on his chest. I’m happy to do it again if it helps you when you’re trancing.”

“Will you, dear?” Wringing his hands, he looked so adorable. So shy! He’s not a shy one…at least not normally. But why around me? He can’t…wait. No. No. No. Stop. He would never want me. “It was…nice.” Seeing her nod so enthusiastically made him smile. Really truly smile. He laid back down and held out a hand. “Come on, darling.”

“Healing comes in many forms, some most unexpected.” If I have to be a cat while I sleep so he can rest, then so be it. I’d do anything to see him smile like that again. Back into her cat wildshape, she climbed onto his chest and laid down in the form of a loaf, her rose pink eyes staring into his red ones.

I’ll be here as long as you need me, okay?

For several minutes, there was no response from him. Iris assumed he had begun to trance, but as she drifted off to sleep, she heard him in her mind.

Promise?

She began to purr. I’m not going anywhere. I promise.

What a sweet little kitten you are…

***

“My heart?” Halsin asked with a raised eyebrow as he, Iris, and Astarion were getting ready for bed. Her rose-pink eyes began to glow gold. “Why are you preparing to go into wildshape?”

Astarion smiled fondly at the dwarf. “Oh little love, I think I’ll be fine for one night. After all, you’re to be the middle of an elven sandwich!” He laughed with glee, something he did much more since Cazador’s downfall. And since he and Halsin have developed a relationship much like I share with both of them. Coupling also comes in many forms apparently. “Our tastiest, sweetest treat!” The three now occupied one room with two beds pushed together so they could easily sleep and trance. Together. Always together.

“If you’re sure, love.” Iris smiled, crawling to the middle. She rolled onto her side, and soon Halsin was spooned behind her while Astarion faced her. “Star trances better when I’m a kitty and sleeping on him.” She explained, looking at the pale elf with all the love I have. It’s what he deserves. All that and more. So much more than I could ever give him. Taking one of his hands in hers, she gave it a small squeeze.

“Nature blessed you with boundless compassion—”

“Except towards goblins, darling. Our dear Iris so loves tearing them apart.” Astarion winked. I mean, well yeah…technically I am being compassionate giving them a quick swipe as an owlbear.

Halsin chuckled and tickled her soft belly. “Mostly boundless compassion, my heart. Astarion, if it pleases you, I could also wildshape for you some night to ease your trances.”

Before the vampire had a chance to comment, Iris’s eyes went wide. “Oh my gods, we could both be bears and snuggle with you!!!!! That would be so cute!” SO. FUCKING. CUTE.

“Of course, you’d think of that. What else would I expect from my kitten, hmm?” He purred, clearly very enamored with my idea. Fuck yeah. So many fluffy, fuzzy cuddles. “My sweet little kitten with the prettiest eyes…” Astarion placed a kiss on her forehead and snuggled close. “And my big beautiful bear—”

“With the big beautiful cock!” Iris giggled as her two lovers laughed.

I love you both with all my heart.

Tonight, snuggles as people.

Tomorrow, SNUGGLES AS BEARS.
