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

Put your finger next to the flower or a pencil next to the flower and that will give the lens something to focus on more easily.

A shipment of baby plants going to a co-worker. Needless to say, when I brought them in on Monday I learned she was out until Wednesday. #midwesternnative #shadelover #sharethewealth
