I did it again. Went and made a new side blog. 😅

So - hi everyone, call me Lily, and this is where I'm going to be putting most of my gardening and nature photography and plant knowledge reblogs from here on! 💚

I follow from @lily-leaves

Tags below the cut

Common tags:

my gardens - any plants I've been caretaking myself

my photography - usually more broad landscapes and skies

plant friends - a plant not in my own garden(s)

seasonal houseguests - my monarchs, both butterflies and caterpillars

bug friends - any insect/bug (I will also tag "spiders" and "bees" and "wasps" - lmk if you want any other bugs tagged specifically)

I will probably also add type of bug with tags like: arachnids, apoideans, lepidopterans, odonatopterans, etc.

critter neighbors - things like lizards, frogs, chipmunks, birds, footprints from the foxes if I see them, etc

And then for reblogs:

gardening - garden plans/advice/etc

a garden is a poem - poems and pretty quotations etc about gardens and plants and pollinators

permaculture - like it says on the tin

foraging

rewilding

plants

bugs

pollinators

biodiversity

My Venus Flytrap is named “Carmilla” for anyone interested.

Yes, that is after the vampire character and book of the same name. The book which, might I add, focuses on girl characters and was a predecessor to Dracula by Bram Stoker.

Tipularia discolor - Cranefly orchid

Yesss, native orchid blooming time! I love these, and they're not easy to spot. They're spikes of small flowers, brown against the leaf litter, and they don't even have leaves in summer. But they're so special.

I like that this article provides specific alternatives to invasive plants. The list is by no means exhaustive. You'll want to do a bit more research on which plants are a problem for your specific region. Plus there are likely way more alternatives than are listed here!

I'm a bit surprised that this article didn't mention milkweed as an alternative to butterfly bush. That would've been my first thought. But their other alternatives sound lovely too.
