A purple triteleia laxa bloom: six petals that end in a rounded off point. The petals are lighter towards the center of the flower and darken towards the tips. There's a darker purple stripe in the center of each petal.

Phacelia california bloom: Clusters of small purple flowers form fuzzy spirals at the end of an upright stem. There are smaller secondary clusters mid-stem.

A bumblebee with a yellow head, black body, and two yellow stripes on its posterior gathers pollen from older, faded phacelia californica flowers. It has two prominent bundles of orange pollen stuck to its hind legs. This bee is likely bombus vosnesenskii, a native California bee.

If you want to talk #CANativePlants, #Mending, #Talmud, or surviving capitalism and parenting while ND, I’m here and would love to chat.

View of treetops in an arboretum grove against a blue sky. The trees are viewed from a distance. The tree on the left is tall with many branches reaching evenly around its trunk. The foliage up top is less wide so that sun may penetrate to the lower branches. Likewise the tree in the middle, but it's less tall. To the right is a tree that does not have many branches remaining below, but has branches full of greyish-green needles up top.

Some redwood leaves of trees close to the camera are visible on the very right of the frame.

Planning to guerilla garden some California poppies along one of our roads in the South Bay, but I was hoping to do it after a rain. But it is getting to be time, so I think I'm gonna do it anyway. Do you think it will work?

Update on #fieldofdreams #wildflowermeadow could use some rain. None in january. #CaNativePlants

A few narcissus in bloom. Green meadow and trees in bacground.

@eleland I'm not yet aware of someone who posts that as the majority of their posts. However, you can find folks who talk about CA native plants and plants that are invasive in CA through hashtags.

Suddenly noticed one of the weeds at my feet was possibly a native Fabaceae. Took photos with the loupe to look up when I got home.

Looks like it may be Acmispon americanus. It's not as fuzzy as the "What grows here?" search on Calflora, and has a little cock's comb center to the wing. https://www.calflora.org/app/taxon?crn=11269 #CANativePlants #Botany

Photo through a loupe so almost all of it is out-of-focus except some petals of the very minute pea-like flower. It has some purple speckles to the standard petal and a yellow cock's comb center to the wing petals. The main petal color is white. The leaves are medium green and a bit "hairy".

Prunus illicifolia tree allowed to grow to its full mature height. This one is just over 2 stories tall (I didn't have a way to take more accurate measurements) and standing at a fenceline.

In front of a redwood grows a 2-story tree with glossy leaves with slight soft prickles on the edge. It bears fruits about 2.5 inches in diameter with a seam like a peach. They're rose pink or red when ripe. The sun filters through the intermingled branches of the redwood and the hollyleaf cherry.

A closer look through a 14x loupe. Same species, different specimen. Early #FernFriday #Botany #CANativePlants

Magnified view of sori on the bottom of a sword fern leaf. They're medium brown circles composed of even smaller spheres.

A sight for sori.

Early #FernFriday #Botany #CANativePlants @plantscience

Closeup of the underside of a sword fern. Many tiny brown circles are raised underneath along the leaf edges. These circles are clusters of sporangia, which release the spores the fern reproduces by, and are called sori. Sorus is the singular name.

I have some Wooly Sunflower (Eriophyllum lanatum 'Siskiyou') in a little buddies group with some Naked Buckwheat (Eriogonum nudum), 2 Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) and a Rock Phacelia (behind that paver!). Yesterday I spotted some color (2nd pic) ,and today it bloomed!! I planted it mid-April, so it's lovely to see it start to unfurl a month-ish later!.

It's such an honor to watch these plants grow! What a real joy 😊 #Nativeplants #canativeplants #woollysunflower

The image shows a patch of bark covered earth, with a few small plants growing in a rough circle. From top to bottom, wooden markers identify these as CA Native - Rock Phacelia, CA Native - Woolly Sunflower, CA Native - Naked Buckwheat, CA Native - Yarrow. The Rock Phacelia is mostly hidden from view, as a small paving stone is sitting right in front of it, almost on top of it. At the top of the image, the bark transitions to gravel, and the bottom of two large light brown fabric planters are visible.

The image shows a patch of bark covered earth, with a light green plant front and center. A wooden marker sits behind it, but the plant's foliage obscures what it says. Two stalks rise from the plants foliage, one beginning to open, and showing a bit of yellow flower bud. At the top of the image, the bark transitions to gravel, and the bottom of two large light brown fabric planters are visible.

The image shows a patch of bark covered earth, with a yellow flower front and center. You can see the plant's light green foliage in the background.

im truly in love with my local native plants. Here are some more I have in the garden! They are: Silver Bush Lupine, Yarrow, California Sagebrush (a personal fave) and Rock Phacelia! #nativeplants #canativeplants #gardening
