Photo shows a small grouping of two varieties of Iris reticulata. Unfortunately, the blooms are fairly transient lasting just a few days. #gardens #gardening #Iris #Irisreticulata #SpringFlowers #BloomScrolling #Spring #Nature #Flowers #Yardening #Urban #Growing

Two groupings of Iris reticulata. I no longer remember which varieties they are. They were planted in 2016.

Photo shows a small grouping of Crocus tommasinianus Herb. 'Ruby Giant'. The color is really vibrant, almost neon. They're great early sources of pollen for pollinators. They almost have a fluorescent glow about them. #gardens #gardening #Crocus #SpringFlowers #BloomScrolling #Spring #PollenSources #pollinators #Squirrels, #Nature #Flowers #yardening #Urban #Growing

We do still have a fair number of Crocus tommasinianus
Herb. 'Ruby Giant' but we did plant 600 in December 2017. The squirrels seem to like eating these as well but the losses aren't as great as with other crocuses.

Photo shows three blooms of Some Crocus vernus (L.) Hill 'Pickwick. Photo was taken in growing zone 7a on March 6, 2026. Crocuses are great early pollen sources for pollinators. They are relished by squirrels though. #gardens #gardening #Crocus #SpringFlowers #BloomScrolling #Spring #PollenSources #pollinators #Squirrels, #Nature #Flowers

Some Crocus vernus (L.) Hill 'Pickwick' that have somehow evaded notice by the squirrels. We planted 120 in December of 2017. They're might be 20 that haven't yet become squirrel hors d'oeuvres. We still love our squirrels though!!!

Hoping I'll have enough to worry about. I planted 6 'Victoria' and 6 'Canada Red' last year. It looks like our extended frigid weather may have taken out 2 'Victoria' and 5 of 6 'Canada Red'. C'est la vie! If the rest didn't survive I'll plant more rhubarb this year.

A new year brings a fresh commitment to making sure everything runs on time.

The Painted lady butterfly's host plants include native thistles and members of the mallow family. This butterfly had a good year in 2017 - migrating groups of the painted lady butterflies were so heavy in areas of Colorado that year that they showed up on radar. #nativeplants

Lexington erases $12.6M in medical debt for more than 6,000 residents The city's $1 million investment is projected to help erase up to $90 million in medical debt over time.

The city of Lexington, Kentucky used Undue Medical Debt recently to change the lives of 6,484 residents with additional impacts on the way. Each dollar donated can have 100X the impact.

Photo shows a plastic tub with seeds from my Senna marylandica that were winnowed and picked in order to get them mostly cleaned. #gardens #gardening #NativePlants #WildlifeGardening #flowers #wildflowers #pollinators #SavingSeeds #habitat #Lepidoptera #foodplant #larvae #caterpillars

Harvested the Senna marilandica (Maryland senna) seeds yesterday and got them mostly cleaned. Took a while. It's a decent flower, great pollen source for bees, and a larval foodplant for several moths and butterflies including Phoebis sennae (cloudless sulphur butterfly).
