Beechdrops are blooming now; it's a forest plant with no chlorophyll that gets its nutrients from the underground roots of beech trees and has tiny purple flowers. #WildflowerWednesday #trees
A beechdrop plant with lots of thin brown stems of different height. Can be hard to see in the leaf litter unless the sun is shining on it. Surrounded by ferns and other green woodland leaves. Purple and cream tubular flowers on the top of the stems.

Three Ghost Pipe flowers emerged this week and I hope that today’s rain might wake up a few more. #WildflowerWednesday

I'm trying to be better and switch all my planting to native plants. I want scenes like this around the house!

The American Black Currant has smooth, small, and reddish-purple to black berries. Gooseberries and currants are both in the "Ribes" genus, but to see the difference, look if there are spines, thorns, or prickles. If so, it’s a gooseberry, but if not, then it's a currant! #WildflowerWednesday

Three bees, one flower.

#WildflowerWednesday #NativePlants

Somewhat unusual, as the bees usually battle over the flowers. Today I saw multiple huddled together on several flowers. Maybe it was related to the extreme heat? I think they are all ladies, a male tried to disturb them a bit later.

The #thistles at Bombay Hook NWR are a heaven for all the little buzzers, buzzing around them. And I got lucky with some unoccupied blooms.

The young leaves of the Peach-leaved Willow are sparsely covered in crinkly hairs, but with age, they become almost completely hairless. Female and male flowers are found on separate plants, and the trees grow best in moist environments, like marshes, and lake and river shores. #WildflowerWednesday
Watercolour painting of a plant cutting. A end of a branch from a tree with long, narrow leaves with slightly serrated edges. Four oblong catkins and fruits grow from the main branch at varying states of maturity ranging from tightly closed capsules to long, loose catkins. At the base of the cutting handwriting reads, “N.C. / V.31.12”

It's #WildflowerWednesday! 🌼This week, we're showcasing the Hawaiian Poppy (Argemone glauca). Hawaiian Poppies are native perennials on all the Hawaiian Islands. This flower grows rapidly in disturbed areas, making it a particularly stable native species.

The Autumn Willow is one of many willow species that call Manitoba home. They typically grow in moist soils and along shores. These plants are dioecious, meaning male and female flowers are on separate plants. The flowers grow in spike-like clusters called catkins. #WildflowerWednesday
A watercolour painting of a cutting of a branch. Long, thin leaves grow up it, finely serrated, with the open yellow, fuzzy fruit at the top. On the left of the branch is an illustration of the immature spikey cluster catkin, and on the right of the branch is an illustration showing the leaves closer up. Handwriting at the bottom reads, “N.C. / 1912”.
