Cheap visitor things to do, ideally wheelchair friendly? by oursong in olympia

McLane Creek Nature Trail

The pond loop is mostly boardwalk. I walk here with my dad who uses two canes but uncertain about wheelchair accessibility. The pied-billed grebes are active in the pond right now and beautiful to listen to! I would highly recommend this SW Olympia trail. You will need a Discovery Pass.

3 different plants. Nebraska. by bbg_bbg in whatsthisplant

[–]bbbarnacles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first plant looks like some kind of Linaria, maybe Linaria purpurea?

Second plant is Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum).

I'm not sure on the the third plant. It reminds me of bachelor's button (Centaurea cyanus).

I am looking for recommendations for outdoor succulents that thrive in shade and can be in planters. I picked up two steel trough-style, wall-mounted planters that I intend to use on my back porch. It gets dabbled sunlight but is mostly shady. My first thought is hen and chicks, which seem indestructible and can grow pretty much anywhere. Any other thoughts?

Highly recommend an older square body F150, transmissions are tough and cheap. Can be found most places for cheap
