This garden dry stone wall hosts a number of Sedum species including the grey foliaged Sedum spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco' (spoon-leaved stonecrop). The fleshy rosettes are silver-grey in winter becoming blue-grey in summer, overlaid with a white bloom which intensifies with drought.

I'm very proud of my little pollinator garden which I've built up over the years mostly from free plants my neighbours were digging up or splitting (and once liberating some seed heads from a flower bed at work). The last two summers especially, it has been visited by an increasingly diverse population: little busy honey bees and fat doofy bumblers and so many different butterflies like this exquisite swallowtail.

I think it's a black swallowtail? Not very good at identification. I've also seen spicebush swallowtail, a red spotted purple and so many monarchs.

Our summers are very dry so most of my garden is drought tolerant native plants, but this lavender was here when we moved in. It was in a very shady spot, all choked with invasive vines but since moving to the sun it has thrived. The bees love it and it pairs beautifully with my masses of pink echinacea (which self seeds with abandon).

I think of my little garden as symbolic in my life. I have been in many places where I have struggled to thrive, because of a bad environment. But with the right amount of sun and water, and with a little care and help, I do pretty well. I get enormous satisfaction from my garden which thanks to neighbourhood generosity and my own time and effort, blooms and grows. I hope when people walk by, it gives them a little joy too.

Missouri Coneflower

Rudbeckia missouriensis

This species is endemic to the Ozarks of Missouri and Arkansas, where it usually grows in limestone and dolomite glades. There's also a few scattered populations in Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, and Louisiana. It thrives in full sun and dry, well-drained soil.

I got a free mystery plant from the nursery and it’s the ponytail palm! I got 7 plants out of one pot 👍🏾 It’s actually not a palm, it’s a succulent from Mexico.

The drought tolerant Pelargonium ‘Brilliantine’(scented leaf geranium) makes a great container choice for summer but will need to be kept dry and frost free for the winter. This cultivar makes a compact plant with small elegant pink flowers born on long stems. The crimped grey green leaves are strongly scented of eau de cologne.

New to my garden: Red Mexican hat (Ratibida columnifera), a drought-tolerant wildflower. It may not survive a typically chilly, wet Oregon winter so it's good to enjoy it for now, right?

One of the bitters in our summer salads is sorrel. It’s a calm member of the Knotweed family and shares lots of love with my favorite summertime cover crop buckwheat. It’s also the cousin to rhubarb.

The photo shows how I was transplanting sorrel yesterday.
