Cardinal Flower ( #Lobeliacardinalis) is blooming. This native grows tall in a rain garden/french drain that helps mitigate water damage to the shed. Beautiful & supports the ecosystem! Joepye ( #eutrochiummaculatum) close behind #cardinalflower #nativeplant #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #raingarden

Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) is a native #beebalm blooming now. Pollinators, especially bees, love their fountain like blooms. Also makes a great oregano substitute #bloomscrolling #wildbergamot #monardafistulosa #beebalm #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #nativeplantsofmissouri #bees l

Meet Cup Plant (Silphium perfoliatum), a native water fountain for pollinators. Still waiting on this sunflower relative to bloom, but the leaves are showy most of the year. Their shape holds small pools of water #cupplant #silphiumperfoliatum #silphium #waterfountain

Winter wheat, sown in fall makes an excellent cover crop. And the birds are absolutely obsessed!! Its fun to watch them hover & bend over the stalks to eat the wheat berries. They had me thinking I needed to harvest & cook some myself! #wheat #wheatberries #birdseed #covercrop #garden #feedthebirds

Radish season isnt over if ur plants bolted. Pretty flowers in pinks, purples & whites come next then delicious seed pods! Young pods are tender & juicy with a milder radish flavor I like better than the root. Ripe seeds can b saved #radish #radishflowers #raphanussativus #bloomscrolling #bolting

The air is heavy with a scent that’s floral with a bit of cucumber & black pepper. We have tons of native grape 🍇. Most r male or female, unlike a lot of our eating grapes like concord that can self pollinate. 1st yr to bloom, flowers are full of pollen, it’s a boy! #nativegrape #grapeflower #vitis

Big Blooms, little plant. Missouri Primrose (Oenothera macrocarpa) makes an excellent ground cover or border plant. It likes sun & most soils. Red stems, attractive leaves and those beautiful yellow flowers!! 😍 #missouriprimrose #oenotheramacrocarpa #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica
