Georgia Native Plant Society Smooth blue aster (Symphyotrichum laeve) has smooth leaves (not rough like many blue asters). It has a small native range in NW Georgia but is often sold at native plant sales. It works well in containers where it can grow 2-3 feet tall.

Jules in the Garden The pollinator garden around the deck is now almost entirely a #nativeplants garden Today I removed 13 non-native annuals and replaced them with several each of red bee balm, prairie smoke, and anise hyssop (plus one each of smooth blue aster and dotted mint) #flowers #greensat
Jen G Flower Power This phrase from the 70’s is a reminder of the power grass roots efforts. Saw a report recently that pollinators are making a comeback due to the number of people who planted pollinator gardens & native species. #flower #grassroots #pollinators #nativeplants #gouache #painting #art

DaniSue An Oak Tree a Day Just starting out, but with big hopes and big plans this newly sprouted valley oak (Quercus lobata) may one day rival its brethren or maybe carry on the tradition of what makes our natural areas so special.

North Carolina Museum of Art Our biannual Service Project in the Park was held a couple of weekends ago. This year's Fall Service Project saw 36 volunteers plant nearly 1,700 native plants in the Museum Park's lower meadow. We'll be offering another opportunity in the spring, and we'd love to have you join us🌱

Georgia Native Plant Society Short’s aster (Symphyotrichum shortii) has a very small range in Georgia. This perennial, clumping aster seems to prefer woodland areas where it grows to about 2 ½ feet tall with a branching panicle of pale blue or lavender-colored flowers. (1/2)
Sharon Moncur Good morning BlueSky Migraine fully gone : hooray! Sliver of encouraging property update yesterday (but still holding our breath …) Better day ahead methinks!
