Sometimes I just need to take a break from everything and look at my bees. They are really enjoying the New England aster. #bees #nativepollinators
Bumblebee on purple center of heart-leaved or blue wood aster blooms
Big bee and little flower - heart-leaved aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium) This beautiful flower loves shade. It’s the first plant that showed up when I started removing lawn. #nativeplants #nativepollinators #bloomscroll

Should you plant goldenrods? Yes! And be a hero to migrating monarchs. Here’s showy goldenrod putting on a show for monarch butterflies and other pollinators #nativeplants #nativepollinators #homegrownnationalpark #mentalhealth
Make sure you don't go cleaning up your leaves and dead flower stalks yet. Pollinators and other beneficial insects are using them (or will use them) as nurseries and homes where they can overwinter.

Monarch caterpillar hanging on Asclepias tuberosa stem (butterfly weed)
Monarch caterpillar underneath a common Milkweed leaf that it is busy munching (Asclepias syriaca)
Monarch caterpillar (yellow black and white striped) hanging on asclepias incarnata (swamp Milkweed) stem
Mentally I am struggling.
My neighbors used to be awesome but they are now using rodenticides and pesticides - fighting feelings of hopelessness and anxiety. Focusing on what I CAN DO helps. These cats appreciate the safe space #nativeplants #nativepollinators #homegrownnationalpark
Monarch caterpillar on stem of pink milkweed (Asclepias incarnata)
Providing food for critters that can’t go grocery shopping and bringing the pollinators to the yard so I don’t have to #nativeplants #nativepollinators #organic
Rusty orange and brownish butterfly showing underwing with silver spots and significant wing damage feeding on the pink blooms of phlox paniculata (tall garden phlox)
Upside down great spangled fritillary - rusty orange-brown butterfly - with wing damage on pink blooms of tall garden phlox (phlox paniculata)
I spotted this tattered great spangled fritillary feeding on tall garden phlox today. She briefly stopped on iron weed before flying off- remarkably resilient and strong in spite of the damaged wings. The tales this butterfly could tell #mentalhealth #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #nativepollinators
Golden Digger wasp (large orange and black wasp) on native mountain mint (pycnanthemum muticum) featuring large bloom heads with small pink flowers and silvery green foliage
My favorite pollinator! They are usually out earlier- it’s been a weird season. Great Golden Digger wasps are beautiful!! Shown on that amazing powerhouse pycnanthemum muticum (mountain mint) #nativeplants #nativepollinators #bloomscrolling

For some reason, I put lots of milkweed (three types) in my garden and yet the monarchs prefer the random ones that sprout in my lawn. I am so glad no mow 2025 continues. #nativepollinators #nativeplants
I think about what it might be like to operate at this speed & live for only a couple weeks
Their world is queererer than we can suppose, etc

Just another day, just another bee. Chelone lyonii ‘hot lips’ or pink turtlehead getting buzz pollinated #nativeplants #nativepollinators #homegrownnationalpark
Sunday afternoon bee butt-palooza. Native white turtlehead, ‘hot lips’ turtle head, blue lobelia and obedient plant are some favorites at this time of year. #nativeplants #nativepollinators #homegrownnationalpark
A red and black sutured longhorn beetle noshing on the pollen of a prairie coneflower.
A ligated furrow bee collects pollen next to a longhorn beetle, atop a prairie coneflower.
One of the neat things about heightening my focus towards life around me, even the smallest of insects, is that when I pause to observe one thing, my stillness often invites others to move into frame.
In this case a sutured longhorn beetle caught my attention […]

Metallic green sweat bees are what’s up in my garden this Friday morning! Enjoying both threadleaf and lanceleaf coreopsis with a possible preference for lanceleaf (video is lanceleaf ) #nativepollinators #nativeplants #yellowgardening
A Red-spotted Admiral butterfly perched at a cotoneaster flower. The butterfly is mainly black, with a white stripe from top to bottom, and patches of red and blue at the very bottom of the wing. There is a small chunk torn out of its wing.
Red-spotted Admiral (Limenitis arthritis) with a small tear in its wing taking a break to check out the small Cotoneaster blooms.

Check out this adorable bedazzled bee I spotted yesterday!

Bee on Canada anemone (white flower with yellow pollen center)
There’s something about watching a bee roll around in a flower that makes it impossible for me not to smile #nativeplants #nativepollinators
Three flowers of the plant Strict Blue-eyed Grass, which have 6 lavender petals with yellow centres and grass-like leaves. There’s a hover fly perched on one of the flowers.
Strict Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium montanum) in bloom with a little hover fly visitor. This species is in the Iris Family and is a common native wildflower in northern BC (and across North America). #bloomscroll #wildflowers #nativepollinators

Sometimes I don’t complain about politics, most of the time I am outside enjoying nature. I just went to a garden center and they had carpenter bee traps full of dying bees. #Heartbreaking #NativePollinators #bees
I emailed this and begged them to stop.
