Had some visitors this morning. They took a nibble here and there before my dog scared them off. 🌱

I've been saving and planting seeds from a packet of nasturtium for about 5 years now, and they've always been reddish-orange, so was very surprised by this color variation. 🌱

Two yellow blooms with orange specks in the bottom center of each petel rising above round green leaves of a nasturtium plant.

SO there are some giant redcedars in the Land Board Park waaay out in the sticks. This grove is a small group of trees so large that the Idaho Land Board (the group in charge of dictating forestry policy in Idaho) decided to spare them from harvest and to name them after themselves 🙄. 1/7

A photo of a sign designating the land board park protrudes from a heavy leafy understory in front of a couple large Western red cedars. The sign says:

"LAND BOARD PARK
This grove of ancient cedars has been dedicated for enjoyment and use of future generations by the state of Idaho.
The Jordan tree standing below the road is estimated to be over 1,000 years old. It measures 17 feet in diameter and is thought to be the largest cedar tree in Idaho."

In 2020 I bought this hydrangea and also got a new puppy. The puppy quickly created a path over the newly planted hydrangea. I moved it two years ago, and it has finally recovered from being stamped on 🌱.

Enjoyed a nice garden walk today in a recently reopened public garden. Here are a few pictures of "new-to-me" plants in bloom. If anyone knows what they are, let me know! 🌱 #Bloomscrolling

Tall feathery, pink flower clumps rise above light green leaves.

Hot pink flower clusters contrast against green foliage.

After a torrential rain storm last night, I was happy to see lots of wildflowers still standing tall on my morning walk. 🌱

Cluster of small, white blooms of the native Yarrow plant.

Purple petals surround yellow centers on these fleabanes, which I think are a kind of native Aster.

Small pink, bell-shaped clustering blooms on the scrubby stems of spreading Dogbane (with my dog in the background!)

As the Arrow leaf Balsam flowers fade, the hillside becomes a sea of lavender with these two wildflowers. One is a kind of Penstemon. The other, I think, is some kind of Phacelia? 🌱 # Bloomscrolling
