Vancouver Island native plant nursery, Satinflower, has a great cotyledon catalogue as a reference for plant ID.

Not all of the plants in their site are appropriate for mid-Island - Nanaimo area, but the site is a great place to start. satinflower.ca/pages/cotyle...

Olsynium douglasii (grass widow) (satinflower) is an exquisite little Pacific Northwest native plant. A member of the Iris Family, I really hope that I can grow patches of these here in Oregon's Willamette Valley.

I planted a native wildflower mix today because, unlike traditional gardening, native species often need to be planted in the fall and winter. That’s because many species won’t sprout unless they’ve experienced an extended period of cold temperatures.
A list of species included in the pollinator mix that reads “Pollinator Blend Nodding Onion (Allium cernuum), American Winter Cress (Barbarea orthoceras), Field Chickweed (Cerastium arvense), Farewell-to-Spring (Clarkia amoena), Menzies' Larkspur (Delphinium menziesii), Woolly Sunflower (Eriophyllum lanatum), Roemer's Fescue (Festuca roemeri), Hairy Gumweed (Grindelia hirsutula), Junegrass (Koeleria macrantha) Barestem Desert-parsley (Lomatium nudicaule), Sea Blush (Plectritis congesta) and Tower Mustard (Turritus glabra) Visit our website for more information and detailed seeding instructions Helping you help nature !” The front of the packet of wildflower mix. There is a bee flying out of a yellow flower and text that reads “Satinflower NURSERIES Pollinator Blend native wildflowers & grasses full sun I dry to mesic > attracts native bees and other pollinators > early to late season blooms • sow in early fall • coverage ~ 17.36m} or 186.86ft2 satinflower.ca” A wildflower mix on top of vermiculite. The vermiculite helps space out the seeds so you get an even coat when scattering over the planting area

What a terrific turnout at the Mayday Social Justice Fair yesterday! We’re thrilled to have met so many great, likeminded community members.
We raised $164.55 yesterday for the Coast Salish Food Initiative, which puts us at $964.55 of our fundraiser. Thank you all for your generosity!
A vendor table setup under a white canopy in the sun. The table cloth is fall themed with orange and green leaves. There are small green plants in green, orange, and black plastic pots on the table on either end. In the middle there is a white metal mesh shelf with two shelves high; orange seed packs are on the table underneath, plants are on the first shelf up, and a poster with sunflowers is on the top shelf. The sunflower poster is missing petals to encourage donations as a means of adding more petals to each flower. Behind the table, there is a white sheet with a painting on it depicting two hands holding wheat and a sickle crossed in the middle. Surround the table is green grass, some small concrete walls, and one person in a white shirt with their back facing the camera. A close up photo of the bottom shelf of a white metal mesh shelf on the fall themed table cloth from the previous photo. In front, there are two rows of six stacks of seeds and in each stack there are multiple seed packs bound by an elastic band. In the back left, there are two plastic bags of seeds, the front of which has a taped label saying mugwort on it, the back bag has a label saying sage on it. To the right, there are three more plastic bags of seeds all labelled hops 2024. A sheet present at the event with a white background, semi transparent sunflowers around the edges, a green footer and the following writing typed on it.

A light blue background with three brown circles on it in a triangular pattern and dark green stems pointing straight down. The middle brown circle’s stem has two additional stems curving upwards with leaves attached to the ends with the names of donors on them (left: Modo Co-Op, Satinflower Nurseries; right: RGB Canada, Cicada Seeds). There are two additional leaves at the base of this flower’s stem that read West Coast Seeds and Gaia Green Organics.
