here are some poorly drawn large plant concepts taken directly from real plants

bit more info:

bees pollinate pickerelseeds, which go through 4 stages each taking about 5 minutes before they reach pickerelweed status. if only the top of the pickerelweed is removed it will revert back into stage 1 pickerelseeds. pickerelweeds can be planted on top of water like lilypads or on top of lilypads, as well as on land (specifically beaches because what the fuck why do they have no vegetation). they can also be planted on clay which I didn't have enough room to mention

hydrangeas should look nothing like my drawing in block form and look more like peonies and their irl varients, but should be condensed into something like that when put into flower pots

and yeah it doesn't really make sense for them to be sold by farmers over pickerelseeds but beekeeper villagers don't exist yet

the little dragon that protects freshwater invertebrates

[ID: a paper collage piece of a dragon with a bird-like face and red, purple, and blue scales. It is looking over its shoulder. There are many freshwater invertebrates below the dragon, including a crayfish, dragonfly nymph, caddisfly larva, daphnia, stonefly nymph, bloodworms, diving beetle, copepod, and flatworm. There is an adult mayfly flying to the right of the dragon. To the left of the dragon there is a pickerelweed plant with an adult dragonfly perched on it. The background is black.]

Mallard! A dabbling duck - referring to how they “dabble” or tip toward and partially submerge in the water to forage for aquatic vegetation.

[ID: an illustration of a male mallard duck flapping its wings and honking. It is surrounded by purple pickerelweed flowers and leaves on a green background. End.]

The Forgetful Bee. Sorry, anthropomorphizing is fun. We are fun. Therefore we are calling this the forgetful bee. It is also a male Florilegus condignus, collected and photographed by Chelcey Nordstrom in the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in Washington D.C. on Pickerelweed, which makes sense since it is a Pickerelweed specialist.

Least Skipper (Ancyloxypha numitor)

Class: Insecta

Distribution: Eastern United States and south-eastern Canada.

Habitat: Wet, open areas with tall grass; marshes, ditches, streams, ponds, hillsides and old fields.

Diet: Caterpillars feed on various grasses such as marsh millet, rice cutgrass, and cultivated rice; adults nectar from small, low-growing flowers like wood sorrel, swamp verbena, pickerelweed, milkweed, chickory and white clover.

Description: The least skipper is a tiny butterfly that can be found fluttering through tall grasses during the warmer months. It has a notably weak, choppy flight, and is rarely found flying more than a few feet off the ground.

Least skipper caterpillars create a hiding spot for themselves by cutting and folding a small flap from a leaf under which to hide as they graze. As they grow, they enlarge the flap little by little, until eventually stitching together leaves in order to create a tube-shaped retreat.

Yep. Plants Time

Pontederia cordata - Pickerelweed Verbena hastata - Blue Vervain Monarda fistulosa - Wild Bergamot Asclepias incarnata - Swamp Milkweed Sagittaria latifolia - Broadleaf Arrowhead Coreopsis lanceolata (!) - Lanceleaf Coreopsis (Nonnative to New Jersey, but often included in native seed mixes used for restoration projects, though considering its native range on the east coast ends in Virginia/How well it does up here and further north maybe it did range up here prior to glaciation?) Cyperus squarrosus - Bearded Flatsedge Solidago juncea - Early Goldenrod Echinacea purpurea (!) - Purple Coneflower (Another nonnative-native, a classic plant of midwest prairies thats been spread nationwide through both garden escapees and inclusion in native seed mixes) -8/23, Bergen County, NJ

Humble beginnings for a grand project--the naturalization of a pond. The creation of a vital ecosystem out of a big rectangle of water, through the power of plant magic.

The plants here are eel grass (grows under the water), water plantain, arrow arum, and bulrushes (grows in shallow water), and blue flag iris and pickerelweed (water's edge). Still coming are two white lilies and one pink. If I decide to do cattails, I can dig them up a dozen places around here. I think I'll give the bulrushes a chance first, though, as much as everyone loves cattails. They're quite aggressive. Otherwise, all the plants are things one would find here in a healthy water ecosystem.

After being in the 70's F (~24C) yesterday, it dropped to the 50's today, which isn't very appealing pond wading weather, so I hope storing them in dirt-water in the garage will keep them healthy and dormant for a couple more days.
