Native plant miniprints posts part four! These prints will be available on my etsy on the equinox, m.20 2023.

Since part of why I wanted to work on this project is that I wanted to learn more about familiar, local plantlife (I'm on treaty 7), I figured I should share some of that information while posting them. Of you have any other information about these plants please share!

Meadow Blazing Star/ Gayfeather, Liatris ligulistylis - lasts a long time as once cut, so great for flower gardens - dry soil and hot sun are a must - a later blooming flower and great for pollinators

Gumweed, Grindelia squarrosa - Gets the name because it’s fuuuull of sticky resin, especially young buds - I have little else without getting into medicine... they sticky boys.

Common Yarrow, Achillea millefolium - grows easily, almost invasively, but deters animals but also is kinda toxic - its been cultivated into a ton of colours but im a purist and think the white is the best - accumulates nutrients in it’s roots which can improve garden soils if left in

06/12/2022-Lakeside and home 

Pictures taken today in this set are of; view of fallen leaves from one of the nice yellow trees out the front in the delicious winter sunlight I took and tweeted a photo of this tree too, a beautiful yellow flower in the flower bed area out the front in the nice light, two autumnal leaves dominated views at Lakeside, some old man’s beard I’d seen for a while near the road entrance to Lakeside and this was the perfect moment for a photo in the sun and up against the bright blue sky, daisy, Common Gull and Black-headed Gulls at Lakeside, sunset and moon this evening and a crane fly this evening which was nice to see. After three overcast days it was magical to see the sun emerge just in time for my lunch time walk and uplift the scenes throughout the day, it really is so embracing being out in it and seeing the sweet angles of light and shadows over the landscape characteristic of this time of year. The bright and exciting last bits of autumnal colour continue to grip me, and it was a pleasure to explore this in lots of nice corners of Lakeside on a great lunch time walk as well as at home with the red tree near to my room as well as orange leaves in the distance and the tree visible in a neighbouring garden looking stunning as the sun hit its bare branches out the back. 

Key species seen today: 

Common Gull-It felt it should be any day that a Common Gull, or perhaps the Common Gull as I’ve seen at least one regularly throughout the last two winters here a quite notable bird for this site turned up. My Facebook memories reminded me I was seeing them around now in a year before, and I seemed to sense I might see one today planning a route to incorporate a little look at beach lake where they go. As I noticed the oceanic blue lake covered in Black-headed Gulls more than yesterday it felt like this rarer for here gull might be among them. And I scanned and found it was, giving me a few powerful moments of focus and fixation watching it which was a true delight and what my lunch time walks are all about. A stunning bird to see, with a cute face and mottled head in winter plumage, and a piercing red bordered eye and sharp yellow bill shining in the sunlight twisting and turning on the water. This has definitely been one of the key birds for me to see at Lakeside since I began working from home it’s one before this I’d have not thought about seeing here so it sums up the value of being able to get to Lakeside for lunch time and evening walks as it is a species I adore and is a big discovery for me. It’s so good to I hope get a third winter of seeing them here started. 

Herring Gull-On a good walk of gulls I saw one really well in flight over the eastern meadows of Lakeside.

Coot-I got some great views of some dashing across the grass towards the lake. 

Great Tit-Another good one to see well at Lakeside again. 

Starling-A nice bird seen from home today in a good few days for seeing them, and they were making a racket as a Jackdaw stood on the roof of the garages surrounded by them. 

Today I also saw; Blackbird well and Redwing briefly another key bird of the time of year at Lakeside, Blue Tit in the garden, spiders at home, yarrow, sow thistle I believe in the flower bed area, garlic or common penny cress or possible shepherd’s purse the nice white flowers on the green out the front and mushrooms including some on trees in the southern fenced off area which was great to see. Firethorn, rose hips, lavender, other plants in the front garden and flowers on the balcony were good to see at home again.

Hot And Dry Wildflower Walk, 6-4-23

Leucanthemum vulgare (Oxeye Daisy) on 6-4-23, #943-60. Hello, everyone! I hope this post finds you well. I decided to go for a wildflower walk on Sunday afternoon even though it was bright and sunny and the temperature was already almost 90° F. There was a nice breeze, so it wasn’t so bad. We haven’t had much rain and it seems many of the wildflowers I usually see are non-existent. Only the…
