Comments (2)I can find quite a bit of the wild stuff, but certainly couldn't afford to send that much. Chicory, plantain, fireweed, Purslane, wood sorrel, Solomon's seal (false?), some type of gooseberry (wild ones, when I go to Idaho) Jerusalem artichoke, red alder, skunk cabbage--maybe, kinnikinnick, MAYBE serviceberry, wild ginger (certainly not 40 of them, though), possibly Oregon grape, bedstraw, burdock, not sure on monkeyflower, cascara, snowberry, all heal, yarrow, yellow violets, Virginia creeper, maybe nuphar polysepalus, wild strawberries (fragaria virginiana and chiloensis)....See MoreProject of the Week
Comments (15)Memo, you are doing good girl. First for roses...have you tried the explorer roses? Or Morden roses? or now the newer Artist Series? You should be able to grow some of the rugosa roses. Also buck roses. Any of these should do well for you.....should you need a rose for somewhere in the future. I hope you pile the rocks somewhere in your garden, they are supposed to chase away bad vibs. lol. With the rains, you will probably see tiny sprouts when you get a chance to plant up the last little bit. You know that is the good thing about gardening, there is never any rush....it will get done or it won't.....it will still be waiting for you to finish it. Remember no one else sees what you haven't finished, they just see what you have done. Also depending on the perennials, some won't bloom till the second year. Now for me in the last week. Lets see, I finished the impatiens blooming bags. Potted up the rest of the begonias, still waiting for some to arrive. Transplanted seedlings into pots and trays. Filled some larger blooming bags for petunia cuttings.....took many petunia cuttings and still have many to do. Potted up perennials that I have purchases bare root. Checking the max/min temps in the greenhouse everyday. I have 2 rooms full of plants and every window sill is full as well. lol. Bring on the sun... There is still a lot of snow in my yard. I can see the raised bed boxes in the front now and the driveway bed....although there is still some snow there. There is soooo much snow still on the side garden, I am wondering if I will see it before July. lol I dug strips through the veggie garden area to make it melt faster and that seemed to work. As the snow is disappearing around the edges, crocus and chinodoxa already have flower buds on them. :) Sierra...See MorePrairie Trillium
Comments (2)There is a federal list of plants, and each state has its own list, too. You need to see if this Trillium is on your state list and could start with locating your state's Natural Heritage program. In NC, they keep a list, but we also have a Plant Conservation Program which keeps an additional list...too many on that list. Anyway, check with those agencies, if they exist in your state, to see what rules and regulations exist to protect plants. Even under federal guidelaines it is my understanding that plants don't have the same protection as animals, birds, etc., as the feeling is that plants can be moved more easily than animals. However, community "uproar" can stop projects.Contact your area native plant grouop and other environmental organizations. We just had Trader Joe's decide not to locate here due to petitions, signs, and angry visitors to the city's meetings on rezoning. Oh, that also means you need to check out your local planning board,. If you cannot stop construction this way, don't forget about rescues. Trilliums move rather easily....See MoreBest time and way to transplant trilliums
Comments (18)Trilliums are very common native plants here in the PNW and they often grow naturally in woodsy rural areas. But they are commonly sold in garden centers as well and all different varieties and colors. These are not wild harvested plants but commercially grown specimens and are adaptable to any shady garden situation. Just an update, but my trillium Volcano discussed above made its move without issue and thrived in my friend's garden for several years before he graciously shared a chunk with another friend. And that plant took transplanting well and has thrived also. Now that I have moved from a full sun beach location to one where I am more shelterer by trees and with considerable shade, a chunk of that plant is coming home to take up residence with me again!! So three moves and at least one division did no harm at all....See Moredandy_line (Z3b N Cent Mn)
