Oenothera speciosa (pinkladies) on a hillside.

Wikipedia says, "it frequently escapes from gardens," and nothing makes me happier than everything that implies.

This is a pattern I created for this week's . The theme is 'what a wonderful world' so I drew honeyeaters in a garden of native flowers. I am very pleased with it and plan to make a few more patterns in a similar vibe.

Got a tip that the grounds crew at a local school district was going to spray herbicide and kill a patch of milkweed, joe pye weed, and other native wildflowers. So we took shovels and tried to save some to plant in our yard.

Thyme-leaved Speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolia)

Thyme-leaves Speedwell is another naturalized import from Europe/Asia that we found this morning growing in a grassy path. Too nice to overlook and my soul is saved by the fact that native insects happily exploit the flowers.
It really is tiny, those flowers are a bare 6cm across. The plant grows in full sunlight, tolerates partial shade, and thrives in a moist environment during the spring.

Veronica spicata "Red Fox" - Spike Speedwell
Asclepias tuberosa - Butterfly Weed (milkweed)

I manage what is technically a pollinator garden in my area, but everyone calls it "The Butterfly Garden." In addition to flora chosen to reflect our status as a Monarch Waystation, we are committed to native plant selections that encourage ALL butterflies and moths (we have 200+ species in our area), bees and other beneficial insects, and of course, birds.

This photo shows some of our Red Fox Veronica with Butterfly Weed in the background. Can you spot the bee?

Zinnia elegans - assorted

Zinnias are a warm-season annual flower. They are easy to grow from seed, and also widely available as nursery starts every spring. They come in so many colors, shapes and sizes that there truly is a zinnia for every garden. Along with being beautiful, they are always abuzz with pollinator activity.

The colorful bouquet in my photo features a selection of flowers from my community garden plot. The coral and pink bloom is a Cactus Zinnia; the green bloom in the bottom-right corner is an Envy Zinnia; the pale pink and fuchsia blooms - and the almost completely hidden orange bloom - are from a mixed seed pack. The yellow flowers are actually coreopsis that self-seeded into my zinnia border, so thank you wind and wildlife for the gift!
