so I found this really cool website that sells native seeds- and you might be asking me "snekdood, haven't you posted an entire list of websites that sell native wildflower seeds that you're going to add on to soon?" and yes that's true, but that's not the kind of native seed im talking about rn.

see, on my quest to find websites that sell native wildflowers, I came across this dope ass website that sells seeds that have been farmed and harvested by ntv people traditionally, i'll let the website do the talking:

so anyways this is the coolest website ever. you can find the wild relatives of chiles on here called chiltepines, you can find different colors of corn and cool squash's, and every seed from whichever farm has it's own lil origin story written about it. you can also find other veggies here that are already commercially available to help fund and support this organization. as well as there being a cool gift shop with a lot of art made by different native folk from all around as well as cookbooks, jewelry, pottery, weavings, and clearly plenty more:

as well as a pantry?? with premade soup mixes??? and i really want to try them now??????

anyways I think its worth snoopin' around bc I'm almost positive you'll see something you think is cool (oh also if you happen to have some seeds passed down from ur family too and ur also native they seem like they would gladly help produce more)

Hey Mom, just in case you can see Tumblr from wherever you are in the afterlife, if there is one, I’m still going out to woods in spring looking for bloodroot all these years later thanks to you! ❤️

🪻🌱🐝 💜 🌿 ✨ // violets & violet miner bees // part of my natives + pollinators series // gouache on paper

tiny violet miner bees (Andrena violae) are a specific pollinator: they pollinate wood & dog violets in the Northeast, and show a strong preference for blue violets. letting your grassy yard rewild itself and grow violets every spring not only lets you make violet syrup, it also gives violet miner bees their most important food source and increases local pollinator diversity.

When I think of plants in the gentian family, I usually think of small, low-growing wildflowers. Not Frasera fastigiata! Clustered Green Gentian, can get to be quite tall. It's not a terribly common wildflower, either, in part because it likes meadows and clearings in forests in areas that have mostly been converted for agriculture and rangeland. We found this on in the Blue Mountains in Washington State - with some cattle keenly keeping an eye out for tasty forbs nearby.

Ooooookaaaay Round 2! Transplanted all.of those morning glories that shot up into bigger pots.

Distributed Marigolds into Basil and tomato pots.

Got 8 cucumber shoots transplanted into their own pots.

Planted Hollyhock seeds and a varying variety of different tomato plants.

My craft room is over flowing!! I can't wait to get the greenhouse back up. Hopefully it will be done by April 15th!

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.

One Dewy Morning Part 1

So way back when, 2010, I had graduated from Graphic Design and was looking for a proper job after my regular summer job at the Canadian Tire garden centre was coming to an end.

Got a call-back for a balloon place in need of an "artist" and I woke up bright and early that morning in late September for the job interview...only to get there and find that they'd forgotten or someone was sick, I honestly can't remember. The secretary apologized profusely and promised I'd get a call-back (which I did and ended up working there for several years).

And there I was in the early morning with nothing to do but walk back to the bus stop. But it was so early that morning that the dew hadn't dried up yet. It was still golden hour and in those days I regularly carried around my handheld Olympus camera. It was an industrial part of town, and the places between the buildings and train tracks were not well-maintained and thus left to go fallow.

And so off I went through the fields to find the wild plants and weeds, to the garden area outside the Tim Hortons where they had roses and ornamental grass, and eventually home to my grandmother's garden.

To say it was magical, well...

Photos are mine, unedited.

hey if ur in the midwest or more specifically missouri here’s some websites i’ve found helpful for finding native seeds and live plants (they’re not all in missouri or the midwest specifically but have some seeds from around here too bc truly human made borders are fake and plants go wherever they want so):

wildseedproject.net

mowildflowers (this websites cool bc they’ll deliver live plants to you if you live nearby enough and they also go to different places around missouri all year to sell plants at festivals or events or whatnot)

nativewildflowers.net

swallowtailgardenseeds.com

strictlymedicinalseeds.com

toadshade.com

treeseeds.com

ouriquesfarm.com

putnamhillnursury.com

sugarcreekgardens.com

prairiemoon.com

seedvilleusa.com (also on etsy)

mybutterflylady on etsy

everwilde.com

and if u ever need help or info or whatever about plants or even find a place to exchange plants and buy some on a forum check out dave’s garden

if anyone knows any other websites and wants to add them on i’d totally appreciate that c: !

(i will update this with more websites too if i come across any)

🌱 🐜 🪽🌿✨// white trillium & ants // gouache on hot press paper

part of my natives + pollinators series. white trillium are a delicate spring ephemeral native to the eastern US. they bloom in the early spring in woodlands, soaking up the sunlight on the forest floor for a few weeks before the canopy grows in. tiny ants help pollinate them for the 4-ish weeks they're in bloom, and spread their seeds on the forest floor.
