Artist, musician and amateur naturalist. I take a lot of native plant photos. Expect posts about politics and plants. And also music, Irish and otherwise. Oh, and maybe some climbing stuff.

Here’s another favorite here in Minnesota - Trillium cernuum (Nodding Trillium). This one has been making a comeback as habitat has been restored. The flower is often hidden beneath the large leaves. Always fun to find. #nativeplants #Minnesota

Virginia Mountain Mint is a wonderful native and it makes great tea. I dehydrate and strip the leaves off.

Another early emergent is Thalictrum dioicum (Early Meadow Rue). Wonderful native that is kind of unique in that there are distinct male and female plants. #nativePlants #Minnesota

Another ephemeral starting to emerge is Aquilegia canadensis (Wild Columbine). One thing you’ll notice is the striking purple foliage. Many spring plants contain Anthocyanins which act as sunscreen, frost protection and heat absorber. As they mature they’ll fade to their normal green. #nativePlants

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Got home and checked in on the woods. The Trillium nivale (Snow Trillium) is starting to come up. Always one of the first things to bloom. #nativeplants #ephemerals #Minnesota
