Returning to my roots, a Pink Lady's Slipper in the Chinese gongbi watercolor style on rice paper. I decided to show it with some of my tools: a stone seal and ink, bamboo brushes, and my Chinese inkwell.

One thing I always forget(honwstly) to tell people about creating a #SoftLanding , I like tonuse a "Victorian trench" when possible, which is +~6" deep and creates a lot of extra "dirt"- but you have uneven spots, or dips, in your yard it makes great fill dirt! #NativePlant beds are coming along
I've been off facebook for a few months and I have to say I really miss my local #NativePlant #Foraging and #Mushroom FB groups. I learned more there from local experts than I have from any other resource. Any suggestions for replacements? It's going to be a bummer to not track morels etc this year.

fastest are the insect eaters. Because we keep killing all the insects and "cleaning" up their homes.
But there's a #NativePlant zeitgeist in the air and you can help it build momentum, even if you don't have a yard.

A white viburnum (Viburnum obovatum) blossom is shown against a leafy green background
The evergreen native shrub Walter's viburnum is in bloom in my yard today. It is the first to bloom of the five native viburnum species I have growing. Easy to care for and can be trimmed as a hedge if desired. #nativeplant #nature #Eastcoastkin #bloomscrolling #spring #Florida
My biggest concern was that even though install was in November, it was a warm spell. I waited until January to spread mulch, to be extra careful about insulting the soil too soon -by late January we already had a few #NativePlant sprouts Trout Lily, Blue Cohosh, and Foam Flower #RVA #Gardenwild

Saw the first Mt. Diablo Globe Lily (Calochortus amabilis) of the year on my hike of Mitchell Canyon in Mt. Diablo State Park in northern California. Also called a Fairy Lantern, the lily is only found in the park and its area.

Peeking from behind the leaves with a pale yellow head yellow and black checkered back and blue chest and wings. Watching for the flash of red under the tail as it takes flight.
Woke to the trill of a pair of Pale-Headed Rosellas nibbling on the Golden Penda seed pods.
This native tree is wonderful for bird and insect habitat, food and it mulches itself. Bountiful this season.

Naturally I had to see if my favorite #nativeplant, the Fringed Campion (Silene polypetala / Silene catesbaei) was represented, and I was not not disappointed!
Though that distribution map is definitely wrong - I can personally attest to presence in Macon-Bibb county.
Take a moment to breathe and relax. Focus on the photo and your breath. #boxbreathing #naturephotography #trillium #nativeplant
