I got the vase for free. It's part of set of 3 glassblown art vases. Got them from a free pile from local estate clear out, a few years ago. I'm good at scoring lots of #freebies & rarely buy anything new.
#Jasmine is blooming again. We keep them indoors for 3/4 of year & move outside for late Spring-Summer. Good indoor natural air purifying #plant. Flowers are #edible & used to make tea & fruits used in #Chinese#TraditionalMedicine.
I picked some #flowers from our #gardens to make a new #bouquet for my Dad's memorial altar. We are doing his one year passing ceremonies on Sunday afternoon.
Patch of #nasturtiums attracts many beneficial insects & pollinators.
Fab companion plant for your #EdibleGarden or ornamental garden. Leaves & flowers are #edible.
Grown from mixed, tapped 2022 seeds.
#YellowRattle is used proactively to create & restore wildflower meadows, where it aids #biodiversity by suppressing dominant grasses & recycling of #soil nutrients. This improves chances of other species of wildflowers becoming established.

Antennaria species: not one of the small silver rosette Pussytoes, this one is also rosette and mat forming, but larger than the silvers, medium green leaves(they darken over the season) with white backs, and flowers are earlier than the silvers. This patch is beside the house, growing in a (not yet this year) mowed area with dandelions, clover, grass + #NativePlants Viola adunca, Fragaria virginiana, etc.#WildflowerHour#florespondence#nature
