Cardinal Flower ( #Lobeliacardinalis) is blooming. This native grows tall in a rain garden/french drain that helps mitigate water damage to the shed. Beautiful & supports the ecosystem! Joepye ( #eutrochiummaculatum) close behind #cardinalflower #nativeplant #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #raingarden

Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) is a native #beebalm blooming now. Pollinators, especially bees, love their fountain like blooms. Also makes a great oregano substitute #bloomscrolling #wildbergamot #monardafistulosa #beebalm #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #nativeplantsofmissouri #bees l

A little of today's pollinator activity on the native Lanceleaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata)
This plant is one of the staples in my wildlife gardens. It does have a peak in early summer but it blossoms into the fall.

Upright Coneflower (Ratibida columnifera) is unique with its tall center. As coreopsis sunsets, this flower takes over my prairie border #uprightconeflower #ratibidacolumnifera #uprightprairieconeflower #mexicanhatconeflower #nativeflowers #bloomscrolling #nativeplantsofnorthamerica

Big Blooms, little plant. Missouri Primrose (Oenothera macrocarpa) makes an excellent ground cover or border plant. It likes sun & most soils. Red stems, attractive leaves and those beautiful yellow flowers!! 😍 #missouriprimrose #oenotheramacrocarpa #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica

3 feet of loveliness. This is native Foxglove Beardtongue or Penstemon digitalis. Only a 2yr old plant and already so showy. The rest of the year it has an attractive semi-evergreen basal clump of leaves #penstemondigitalis #penstemon #foxglovebeardtongue #nativeflowers #nativeplantsofnorthamerica
