Restore Habitat PNW

The neighbor's window reflecting light on this snowberry like she was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! The colors on the Oregon tea tree and birch leaf spirea are divine.

Here we go! Check out the albino cotyledon! Eurybia radulina | Rough Leaved Aster, Leptosiphon bicolor | True Babystars, Erigeron speciosus | Aspen Fleabane, Eryngium petiolatum | Coyote Thistle, Lomatium dissectum | Fernleaf Biscuitroot, Trichostema lanceolatum | Mt. Blue-Curls

Oemleria cerasiformis | Osoberry. Each flower cluster has a spiky leaf hat to get your attention🥰 No, they don't really smell like cat p*e. Female and male flowers shown in 2nd and 3rd images.

What a difference a day makes. Native habitat is lovely in the snow. Ribes Lobii ( #4)was getting ahead of itself until this weather event. Interesting, that is was reluctant to lose its leaves in fall too.

Beautiful native plant seeds!!
First person to guess which seed is which species and win a Penstemon hesperius | Tall western penstemon (photo in comments) pick up South Tabor. Put your guess in the comments.

included in the photos below are the following species:

Vancouveria hexandra | Inside out Flower
Gilia capitata | Blue Field Gilia
Eriocoma lemmonii | Lemmon’s Needlegrass
Eryngium petiolatum | Coyote Thistle
Ceanothus velutinus | Snowbrush Ceanothus

You are disqualified from winning if I have already given you a P. hesperius😊. Feel free to guess anyway.

Which native plants are blooming in January? Hairy Manzanita (Arctostaphylos Columbiana) is right on time to feed this adorable hummingbird ❤️. Grindelia integrifolia | Willamette Valley Gumweed and Gaillardia aristata | Blanket Flower trying to get a few more blooms with limited success, but I admire their tenacity.
