🍽️ September is National Mushroom Month! What better way than to celebrate than with a Mushroom Forest Focaccia? As a garden designer, I often bring my botanical interests into the kitchen! #gardenscape #mushrooms

Happy National Mushroom Month! The entire month of September is a celebration of all things fungi. Learn different ways to cook with mushrooms, explore mycology, and try new varieties this month. ❤️🍄❤️

🌿🌱Lilium michauxii (synonym: Lilium carolinianum), official wildflower of North Carolina, noted for its heady fragrance. Named for Andre Michaux, a noted 18th Century naturalist and explorer of the Southeastern United States. #NativePlants

🌱🌿 Hymenocallis coronaria (cahaba lily, catawba lily, shoal lily, shoal spider lily) native only to AL, GA, SC, parts of NC. Under consideration of the Endangered Species Act. Only 50 populations left in the 3 states. A significant population remains in the Broad River, GA. #NativePlants #SciArt

🌱August bloomer: Lycoris x straminea 'Caldwell's Original', a fall-foliage emerging hybrid. #lycoris

Peaches. Prunus persica cultivars including nectarines and some wild relatives like davids’peach P. davidiana, the rare fergana-peach P. ferganensis and hybrids to the almond; P. x amygdalopersica. Photographed with the help of the INRAE peach collection.

Current obsession (well one of them anyway): Lithops aka stone succulents. Better than gemstones in a jewelry box. #Lithops #StoneSucculents

Poisonous plant and fungi colorized wood engravings by Scottish artist Jonathan Johnstone, 1855.

NEW. Lavandula stoechas 'La Diva Big Night' is the first cross between Spanish and English Lavender, with especially good heat and humidity tolerance. Great news for those of us in the South. It's also hardy to Zone 6. 🌱🌿 #herbs #herbgarden

Cape Fuchsia (Phygelius) with its tubular blossoms attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. "Phygelius" comes from the Greek word "phyge", meaning flight or avoidance, "in consequence of its having so long escaped the research of botanists" according to W.J. Hooker (1855). Native to South Africa. 🌱🌿

Clevland sage (Salvia clevelandii) We have decided you are our favorite sage! Smells soooooo goood! 🥰 Stateofthestateparks.com #CaliforniaNativePlants #iNat #photography #NaturePhotography #Bloomscrolling #oc #parks 🌱 #nature #plantsky

Goodbye Redwood Forest -- The blue areas are what EO 14225 has marked for deforestation. These are old growth forests, protected by law.

A bit of yellow for the #NativePlants feed 🌱 - Yellow wild indigo (Baptisia tinctoria) in bloom

Rhododendron 'Abbey's Re-view' is a prolific spring bloomer... and is supposed to rebloom in the fall, but I've never had that happen. However, it IS spectacular in bloom, also heat and drought tolerant and so recognized by the American Rhododendron Society, Rhododendron of the Year Award 2018.🌱🌿

Indigofera suffruticosa 🌱🌿 was popular as a highly prized source of blue dye in the 17th and 18th centuries where it still grows wild on the north end of Georgia’s Ossabaw Island at North End Plantation, the site of a colonial-era indigo plantation. History in AltText.

🌱Ah! The large red trillium I missed the other day… it was lurking underneath the acanthus.

Young Peregrine out on Bodmin moor today. Very rarely see them here, so bit of a treat. #UKWildlife #Birds #Birding #birdphotography #nature

To design a garden that supports the greatest number and diversity of pollinators, don’t worry about what your neighbors are doing or not doing. Just focus on planting different kinds of flowers – and lots of them.

'tis the season. Left: Narcissus Kedron, bred by Willis Wheeler, a mid 20th century daffodil breeder and officer in the American Daffodil Association. Right: Narcissus Sailboat is a William Pannill award-winner. Both produce up to 3 blooms per stem, and perform well in the Southeast. 🌱🌿

March 21. 🌱🌿 Happy International Day of Forests May the forest be with you.

Update on the nest I predicted for our custom living herb & berry wall outside a kitchen door. Studies show greater biodiversity in living wall gardens: 56 more species (9 more species of birds, + over 2600 morphospecies). 🌱 Birds nest in ours - every client we install!

Blustery and rainy late winter day, so didn't feel like working outside. Instead, here is a photo of blue-winged wasps on a rigid goldenrod from last September. #nativeplants #wasps

🌱#Gardening A tangle of Calendulas and an Allium skeleton along with some purple & white Candytuft flowers and Evening Scented Stocks peeping through, to remind myself (notwithstanding getting hailed upon again just the day before yesterday!🥶) that better gardening days are on the way.

Rare: Magnolia sinostellata is an endangered species, listed on the Red List of Magnoliaceae since 2016. "With many species popular in cultivation for their beautiful flowers and foliage, magnolias act as attractive flagships for tree conservation worldwide." - IUCNredlist.org established in 1964.🌱🌿

Dream Touch Tulip: this double-peony, early flowering tulip has rich, magenta-plum tones and snowy-white edging. The blooms are set off when combined with shades of yellow violas, Sedum Angelina, and the lacy foliage of a Hinoki cypress. 🌱 #tulips #gardeningfeed

Finally. We've been waiting for more than 3 months for this tree to arrive from Iseli Nursery in Orgegon. Worth the wait, as the final specimen for a landscape renovation we completed late last year: Picea omorika 'Pendula Bruns' (weeping Norway spruce). #GardenDesign #gardeningfeed 🌱🌿

Beau and Alan Daniels: National parks conservation association posters. #SciArt 🐡 Sequoia National Park, California, Giant Sequoia: it's not like we can make new ones. Arches National Park, Utah: it's not like we can make new ones.

#NativePlants you should add next year (search plant name + range map to see if it’s a fit for you): Cephalanthus occidentalis (Buttonbush). Full sun/part shade. Perfect for wet soil but ours grows well in dry clay. We grow small cultivar because of limited space. #Pollinators magnet. #gardening 🌱

🌲An international group of researchers discussed how drought-driven forest mortality is rising, yet critical gaps remain in tree #drought physiology. New management strategies are the key to long-term resilience. (Laura Boger) ▶️ nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #Forests #PlantBiology

Good morning! Another sunny day so more work on the veg beds There's a possibility of a small shower tomorrow but in all honesty it's unlikely My dahlias are arriving soon!!! Have an excellent day Picture is of Abutilon pictum 'Red dragon'

Picea orientalis 'Skylands'. One of my favorite #conifers. I planted a pair of these more than 20 years ago for a client, and the new homeowner wants to find another one. They're from a nursery in Oregon. Best with some shade here in the south, remarkably tolerant of our Georgia heat & humidity. 🌱

Sometimes you just need to spend some time under the Saucer #Magnolia (Magnolia x soulangeana) tree in full bloom in the late afternoon light and breath in that heady perfume. A short 🧵 #Fujifilm X-S10 and #Sony Nex-3N #BloomScrolling #FlowerReport #Photography

A spring bowl of hellebores and Edgeworthia. I think my favorite this year is the one with radiating stripes in a star shape, a chance seedling from the ‘Apricot Blush’ seed strain. 🌱

Five things I did last week: 1. Rearranged evergreen trees for an installation. 2. Picked out plants from a local nursery for a new dry creekbed being installed this week. 3. Took my assistant to lunch. 4. Put the amaryllis bulbs away for the winter. 5. Made coq au vin for dinner.

Cornus alternifolia (1788) by Charles Louis L'Héritier, Dom. de Brutelle. Commonly known as alternate leaf dogwood or pagoda dogwood, it is a Georgia native. Little tufts of white blooms appear above the glossy green foliage which is arranged on graceful horizontal branches. #NativePlants #SciArt 🌿
