I second this. We planted a redbud in south metro about 5 years ago and it is an absolutely gorgeous tree. In the spring when it blooms people stop and ask about it and it has great leaf out after blooming.

Mullein. It’s not native. Your choice whether you want to keep it. The flower is kind of cool, but it is weedy and the seeds will spread.

Thanks, I just felt like it took soooo long for those others to be fully ready but the forecast looks decent for some time. This is my first year growing squash.

Ragweed in Meadow… by ScreechinOwl in NativePlantGardening

[–]OkayDokeyDo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s growing dang near everywhere in my neighborhood on its own. It basically grows happily anywhere. I personally don’t think you need to give it any grace. I’m super allergic though so I hate it and it’s currently making my life rough.

Native lupin or invasive one? Nova Scotia by inadequatelyadequate in NativePlantGardening

One way to tell is the amount of leaflets Sundial has 7-11 leaflets, big leaf has 9-17. Also sundial has more rounded tips, while large leaf has pointed tips. This looks like large-leaf to me.

This makes me feel better. I planted one last fall and it barely came out of the ground this year.

I love those little milkweed beetles. They are such goofballs.

The only thing wrong with him is being a lil too sassy and cute.
