The hedgehog cacti are finally starting to bloom. The prickly pear too: these prickly pears more often have yellow flowers, and I don't know what makes them sometimes orange instead. #bloomscrolling#NewMexico
#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.
We have a viola refuge in our garden. It is next to the south side of our woodshed. The ground is covered with rocks we picked out of the garden and tossed over here. This spot gets zero care from us and is hot with sun radiating off the woodshed wall. The viola have self-seeded and are claiming this spot for their own. #BloomScrolling#PNW
