We are thankful that Spring is sprunging!
A few images from our garden:
 |
| Pussytoes |
 |
| Pussywillow |
 |
| Jack in the Pulpit |
 |
| Wood Poppy |
 |
| Violets |
The first two plants were must-haves for us, since they refer to cats!
There are other plants with weird names: Doll's Eyes, Spiderwort, and Rattlesnake Master.
Every plant that I add to the garden is a native Michigan plant, meaning it was thriving here before Europeans walked through after 1492.
Native plants are acclimated to the climate; they don't need to be pampered.
In addition, they attract native bees, bugs, birds, and bats; creatures who are under stress from lawn chemicals and insecticides, noise pollution, loss of habitat, and diseases brought in by non-native hosts.
Let's Hop!
