as I got them in the ground, the summer heat arrived and the creek bank exploded with native annuals whose seeds must have been waiting for their chance. American bittersweet, jewelweed, cinnamon willow herb, and American burnweed all grew in profusion.

Small clumps of reed canary grass remained

This plant is so beautiful it's been mistaken for an orchid! Impatiens noli-tangere is an attractive forb with large yellow flowers that stand out in the later summer. Very abundant at Wagner Natural Area just outside of Edmonton. #nativeplants #yeglocal #explorealberta #nature
A slide depicts Western jewelweed. It describes that it grows in wet habitats. A close up of the flower head with three text boxes. It's an annual, completing it's lifecycle in one year. It flowers from July through to September. This slide describes how the flower is shaped and what pollinates it. This slide shows three close up images of the seeds and seed pod and describes how if you touch the pod, it explodes, leading to it's namesake ' touch me not '

The spotted impatiens or jewelweed is invasive yes---but hummers love it. Just sayin'. It is easy to pull out and I police it every year. The one I have is pink and white and was nicknamed "poor man's orchids" here.

That orange flower along wet trails?
Jewelweed.
It explodes its seeds if you touch it.
Nature has jokes.

LIKE THOSE PLANTS E RHE POPPING SEED PODS, JEWELWEED???

Oh, that counts? Heavens. I’ve been stealth sowing wild bergamot, helping jewelweed by popping their seed pods, shaking the seed heads of the pink asters I planted in our pollinator garden at school. Birds are welcome to any and all, plus they drop seeds from the feeders - gift sunflowers!

The Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across the very northwestern corner of Alabama. Colbert Park and the parkway’s bridge over the Tennessee River are highlights. The Rock Springs nature trail is a gem, especially when the jewelweed is blooming and hummingbirds are numerous.

i never did post these together & now i know why; my photos organization is atrocious, finding this took like twenty minutes across three different filesystems

Missed out yesterday because everybody was closed. Stocked up today because I have a feeling I might be here a while.

Henny Penny chicken. Henny Penny is a special process that uses a pressure cooking fryer and is the process KFC, Lee's Famous, and Buffalo Wild Wings. Bumbleberry pie. (I just got one slice). "Bumbleberry pie is a mixed berry pie that combines several types of berries, often including blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries, sometimes with additions like cherries, apples, or rhubarb." I'm not sure what all is in this one. Looks like raspberries and blueberries for sure. Pennsylvania Dutch chicken pot pie. This is how they do it out here. Seems like more of a stew or a thick soup but they call it a pot pie. The big yella pieces are noodles. Picked up some jewelweed salve while I was there too. Gonna see how it works on dry skin and I'll have it on hand, no pun intended, for any encounters with poison ivy, biting bugs, or eczema.

Found more bees! Watching them stuff their face into jewelweed is really the best show in the whole swamp.

Do you have any questions about bees?

Missing summer!

Here is a lovely bloom from Wagner Natural Area, just outside Edmonton.

This is Western Jewelweed, or Impatiens noli-tangere as the scientific name. In Wagner this plant is visible along the Marl Pond trail in July to early August. #yeg #edmonton #alberta #nativeplants #gardening
Jewelweed centered in a sea of green with raindrops beading off of the leaves. Jewelweed centered in a sea of green with raindrops beading off of the leaves.

From a certified herbalist I get these luxurious and practical body & bath stuffs. All are steeped in island folkways she learned from her parents.

The plaintain and jewelweed salve is my favorite. (For cat scratches. 😄)

milkweed, jewelweed, sunchokes, goosefoot - i only dabble in learning about the native plants here, but those are all edible. Arrowleaf or whatever in marshes. Cattails great for making fire...

did these displace more delicate plants millenia ago?

How about jewelweed or strawberry flowers

I keep finding friends in interesting places... today, it was some Spearmint tucked in behind some Goldenrod and jewelweed. I had some homemade vanilla sugar and thought, hmmm... the holidays are coming, I'm quite sure I can find something delicious to do with this!
Any suggestions?

Macro image of a very large spider on her web. She is an Orb Weaver and her colors are black and yellow. Her web has the Orb Weaver's typical thick white zig-zag line in the center which spans diagonally through the frame. She is perched atop it in the upper right corner. In the blurred background are lush green plants with sunlight bleaching some of the leaves to yellow. The blossoms of the Jewelweed are orange.

Days shortening and temperatures dropping. Planning is getting serious...and I just realized I don't have a single true annual in the plan. That needs fixin'. At least annuals don't need to overwinter.

(Jewelweed doesn't count. It takes 2 winters & a summer to even sprout.)
Screenshot of a multi-tabbed spreadsheet I'm using to plan my plant adventures: tabs visible say 2026 garden, native meadow, wildlife habitat, rain garden, shade garden. The native meadow tab is open. The plants are picked by various interwoven factors: color, height, sun & water needs, bloom time. (June is gonna turn OUT for Pride month.)
