#PlantMoreNatives Swamp milkweed (Asclepias perennis) does best in damp or wet habitats, but it tolerates somewhat drier conditions if they are shaded. We need to plant more native milkweed to provide larval food for the monarch butterflies. Here is its profile on FNPS: www.fnps.org/plant/asclep...

This is a really great resource when you're thinking about plant placement to help our pollinators!

#PlantMoreNatives to support birds and pollinators. This graphic shows that some pollinators must find appropriate flowers within a short distance, or they won't survive. Join & support your local native plant group to make this happen

A nice cluster of coral mushrooms. From June along the long dog walk through the woods along the bank of the North Branch of the Chicago River.

Denali National Park. Six million acres of land and North America's tallest peak - 20,310 feet. The aboriginal homeland of five Northern Athabascan Indian groups.

I have not yet had the chance to visit but hope to someday!

A few reasons why I love Patagonia!

#bluesky #photography #landscape #travel #nature #sunset #landscapephotography #naturephotography #sunrise #scape
Fierce winds drive off snow and ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. There is a whole world of drama and grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, and especially so for Patagonia! Although the wind was screaming in my ears, it was a scene of serenity & breathtaking majesty as the Cuernos del Paine lit up in magnificent light. Light I had never witnessed in my years of exploring Patagonia. After several attempts over a period of 6 years, patience finally paid off. For an all too brief moment, Argentinian Patagonia's vast, breathtaking Perito Moreno glacier is dressed in the most beautiful light! Deep in the mountains, there is a world of untold beauty. It changes in matters of seconds, never to be repeated. Capture it, preserve it for eternity, share with those who haven't witnessed. Patagonia, Chile.

Hardiness Zones vs Ecoregions (and Why it Matters)
"What should I plant in my growing zone?"  A question we get more than any other is "what plant should I use in X hardiness zone?" The short answer is that I rarely think about hardiness zones at all,
