Also known as swamp sunflower, this showy species prefers moist soils, so it was planted in the deepest zone of our rain garden, which captures, treats, and infiltrates stormwater onsite.
Featuring bright yellow blooms, narrowleaf sunflowers attract huge numbers of butterflies and bees while growing up to and sometimes well over 5 feet tall.

Native narrowleaf sunflowers, Maryland goldenasters, grassleaf blazing stars, Virginia meadow beauties, and showy asters are blooming profusely in the garden, which attracts scores of pollinators and captures, treats, and infiltrates approximately 53,000 gallons of stormwater onsite each year.

Oh no, I have caterpillars! What should I do??? 😩🐛
Just kidding! This is a monarch caterpillar (Danaus plexippus) feeding on narrowleaf milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis) in my garden. I planted this native milkweed specifically to attract and support monarchs, so finding this big, healthy caterpillar on it is exactly what I was hoping for. The caterpillar is striped black, white, and yellow and is clinging vertically to a milkweed stem against a clear blue sky.

A three-panel composite showing the three new wildflowers, side by side. Left: tufted vetch (Vicia cracca), a dense one-sided cluster of small purple pea-shaped flowers on an upright stalk, against blurred green grass. Center: narrowleaf arnica (Arnica angustifolia), a single yellow daisy-like flower with a domed center of disc florets ringed by strap-like ray petals, on a stem with two buds. Right: Arctic gentian (Gentiana algida), a group of upward-facing funnel-shaped flowers, creamy white with lengthwise blue-violet streaks and pointed petal tips, rising from grass and low tundra.

🌻 narrowleaf gumweed 🌿
Grindelia lanceolata

#nativeplants #ecoregion71
looking directly into the face of a blooming composite flower with nearly two dozen bright yellow elliptic ray florets and dozens of bright yellow tubular 5-lobed disk florets which start blooming from the outer rows of the disk & work their way inwards. the outer row of disks has faded and several rows adjacent rows are now open. bright yellow pollen is scattered across the flowerhead. the rays are pistillate (female) while the disks are perfect (possess both stamens and pistils). the stamens of the disk florets are fused to form a tube through which the style protrudes. at the center of the disk, all the florets are just buds. the same flowerhead as in the previous photo, seen from the side. at the bottom of the pic is a vertical, smooth green stem with alternate green leaves. the leaves are linear to lance-shaped, and the sunlight catches one of them to illuminate the many resinous glands that dot the leaves' surfaces. the stem terminates in a flowerhead whose base is lined with around have a dozen series of spiky-looking thick but narrow phyllaries that curve upwards. the top row of these bracts angle outwards at their tips as well. the bright yellow rays beam out of the top of the flowerhead about 30° above horizontal; none of the disks are visible. narrowleaf gumweed growing among natural gravel and fieldstones in a limestone cedar glade, next to a tennessee coneflower which has yet to bloom. patches of grass eke out a living in the background. there are a number of gumweeds growing here, of various size and condition. the largest is towards the lower left & has a broken & brown main stem off which several green, flourishing branches grow. the reddish green stems bear alternate linear to lance-shaped green leaves & terminate in flowerheads with rows of spiky-looking green phyllaries, bright yellow rays, and a bright yellow disk.

My milkweed is finally blooming! I have high hopes for some Monarchs to come visit, as they do flutter by from time to time. I believe this is Narrowleaf Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis) a California (and other Pacific Northwest) native. #ContainerGardening
A multi-blossom white and pinkish flower cluster held above narrow strap-like bright green leaves. Per Wikipedia: Five petals reflex backwards revealing a gynostegium surrounded by a five-membrane corona. The corona is composed of a five-paired hood-and-horn structure with the hood acting as a sheath for the inner horn.
