Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

Rudbeckia Triloba

My neighbor has gotten the benefits of having me next door and will soon be enjoying his Brown-Eyed Susan in bloom. This is quite an eager spreader that even seems to bloom in the shade... #hostplant #midwesternnative

This is blooming in the Gulch where the sun never penetrates. I often wonder why so many #midwesternnative wildflowers are this shade of searing yellow. #curiouscases

These chewed-up stems finally produced some flowers, maybe just days before the first snowfall #midwesternnative

In Michigan, @moore.794 you know not the day or the hour! I'll never forget the day I was sitting in art class in early June and it started freaking snowing, AND IT STUCK!
