πŸ’œπŸ€ Wildflower Sunday πŸ€πŸ’œ

πŸ’œ Slender False Foxglove and Hairy Aster 🀍

When I bought this property in Oct 2021.. I scattered SOOOO many wildflower seeds.. all I wanted was a huge space for pollinators .. I quickly realized they already had lots of native plants growing wild here.. the more the merrier.. I have no idea if these grew from seed I tossed or if they were here already but either way.. I just love wildflowers.

My only problem was sunlight.. the whole 5.84 acres was wooded. We hate cutting native trees .. that’s where the birds and butterflies live!!.. so we cut just enough to grow a veggie garden and a few flowers.

Recently we’ve had to cut trees for the electric company and septic .. it makes me want to die!!! My goal is to replant everything we have to cut down and more. πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

πŸ’šπŸ€ Dotted Smartweed πŸ€πŸ’š

I didn’t plant this dotted smartweed… it came up in one of my flower pots on its own.. but I read about it and decided to let it stay. πŸ’š
Dotted smartweed (Persicaria punctata) is a wetland plant important to many different kinds of native wildlife. Its nectar attracts bees and beetles, and insect larvae feed on its leaves. Also, small birds and mammals find the seeds very tasty. πŸ’š
