Me? Making art of bad word play puns? It's more likely than you think
I had some fun with a limited set of colours here, I like how it turned out!

The signs of ageing: this thing gets you excited. These are future mint, clover, arugula, salad and something like flowers, but in reality it's a grass.

Well after surviving incessant deer raids and a few frigid nights this past winter, lo and behold, my sharp-lobed hepaticas (Hepatica acutiloba) are having a moment. Hepatica is one of the earliest-blooming wildflowers in Central Appalachia, but it's by no means an ephemeral. The plant's leathery, three-lobed leaves persist all year, even through the toughest winters. Hepaticas are an absolute must-have for a shady spot in a native wildflower garden, especially when planted around rocks and along edges - just too gorgeous for words.
Incidentally, I buy my live native plants from Rare Roots, a small, women-owned business within reasonable shipping distance of Morgantown. The plants are always immaculately packed and in good shape when they arrive. So far, so good - the plants I bought last year have survived the winter and are putting out new shoots. And I've ordered more for the spring, including Meehan's Mint and lyreleaf sage, two positively stunning native mints I'm eager to establish in my garden beds.

Around Halloween I saw this post that was like “most canned pumpkin is actually squash so you’ve probably never had a pumpkin pie with real pumpkin” and few posts have ever produced more smug arrogance in me. Get a load of this guy, they haven’t ever accidentally grown a bumper crop of 50 pumpkins in their front yard during a global pandemic and been obligated to eat them in every dessert for a year. Skill issue.

Spring has arrived in Western Washington! We're beginning to see spring ephemeral flowers. The term "spring ephemeral" isn't a terribly strict one, but is used to generally refer to plants, usually woodland ones, that devote a lot of energy to flowering in the spring and either go dormant or become far less showy the rest of the year. Common cultivated examples that are nonnative to the US include daffodils, hyacinths, tulips, and crocuses. If you can find native ones at nurseries or native plant society plant sales near you, we heartily suggest them! They do tend to be fragile, so it's best to avoid disturbing them in the wild, though.
Here are some spring ephemerals native to Washington! Clockwise from the top, these are the glacier lily (Erythronium grandiflorum), great camas (Camassia leichtlinii), Pacific bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa), Western trillium (Trillium ovatum), white fawn lily (Erythronium oregonum), Western spring beauty (Claytonia lanceolata), pink fawn lily (Erythronium revolutum), pretty shooting-star (Primula pauciflora), and chocolate lily (Fritillaria lanceolata).
What spring ephemerals are native where you live? Do you grow any yourself?
