Flowering - last years planting





I need to collect some wild strawberry, they’d be perfect

A rock I found close to 30 years ago. My brother and I found 2 very similar rounded black stones with brown speckles. Been sitting on my benches for years. Planting is Ajuga and Jasmine with a piece of cat skull that has been decomposing at the end of my running route since last December. Finally broke down and grabbed a souvenir last month and incorporated it into an accent. Will look better as everything fills in.

Rock shitakusa and other accents .. all native ferns, flowers, grasses, sedum , and carnivore plants. The shitakusa would be something I pair with a pine or conifer as understory.

Woodland phlox, ladyfern , foam flower , sedum. Too left
Too right woodland phlox , I wanna say interrupted fern and spleenwort , and a sedum terabtum

Whoa! Really well done!

Iris missouriensis, Rocky Mountain Iris



I picked up these native irises for a few bucks at the local farmers market. I collected the stone, deadwood, and moss from the forest. Japanese container.

I would like to keep playing with kusamono, they’re such little joys

 

[Shogun610]

The horse grass is doing well , cut it back .. but the Venus fly traps died .. I think too much moisture .. so I replaced with a big flowering grass. Xyris Caroliniana hopefully next year the xyris drawfs

Just a grouping of perennials, grasses, cacti, moss, stone and a piece of dead cholla. All from my property in Cedar Crest NM. All grow natural right next to each other.

Agave Americana "Marginata"

 

[badatusernames]

Not sure what these flowers are. Saw them coming up in a planter earlier this summer and decided to throw em in a pot and see what happened. Curious if next year it grows more full and dense.

Curious if next year it grows more full and dense.

Yes, they will. Here you can sometimes see them growing on sidewalks, in cracks in the concrete

Some foreign grass I took out of the sphagnum from an airlayer:

Mixed planting at a show this weekend.

Got a single bloom on this one. And the blue grama seeds always look very cool.
