Creeping Bellflower
Campanula rapunculoides
in the backyard, under the sumac, near the burdock and the mullein. This is the first year it’s bloomed, having been mowed the past few years, much to my chagrin. Worth the wait! #fairieslivehere #backyardbotany #wildlifegarden #urbanbotany #flower #love

This Gray Headed Coneflower,
Ratibida pinnata, has an ethereal beauty even before they bloom. Love. #backyardbotany #wildernessgarden #wildflowers #bloomscrolling #flower #love

Excited to find Butterfly Weed,
Asclepias tuberosa, in the backyard amongst the goldenrod, catnip, and other volunteers. I actually planted the butterfly weed seeds a few years back. What a gift! #love #wildlifegarden #backyardbotany #flowers #bloomscrolling #NativeCollective #wildflowers

Daucus carota

I don’t want to forget how beautiful they are before they flower. Love. #backyardbotany #NativeCollective #wildlifegarden #bloomscrolling #love

Honeysuckle always reminds me of summertime. We had it in the backyard growing up. But I’d never seen a pink honeysuckle until today! Same scent, same shape, just dressed up differently. #Honeysuckle #SummerMemory #BloomScrolling #Nature #BackyardBotany #PhotographersofBlueSky #Photography

Bright and crinkled, like it opened under pressure. Hidden just enough to feel like a surprise. Squash blossoms don’t stick around long, but they always bring something bold. #SquashBlossom #ContainerGarden #BloomScrolling #BackyardBotany #GardenPause #PhotographersofBlueSky #Squashblossom

Picked up a couple of orchids for the yarden! Heath Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza maculata) and a Southern Marsh Orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa). Let's hope they're not too picky... #backyardbotany 🌱
