Der Blut-Storchschnabel 'Apfelblüte' erfreut sich immer größerer Beliebtheit. Die einzeln wachsenden Blüten sind weiß bis zartrosa und erinnern an die Blüte des Apfelbaumes. Die schalenförmigen Blüten sind zart geädert. Daher wirkt die Blüte von (bot.) Geranium sanguineum var. striatum 'Apfelblüte' besonders filigran und zerbrechlich. Sie bietet reichlich Nektar und Pollen für Bienen, Hummeln und Schmetterlingen an. The Blood Cranesbill 'Apple Blossom' is becoming increasingly popular. The individually growing flowers are white to pale pink and are reminiscent of apple tree blossom. The cupped flowers are delicately veined. This makes the flower of (bot.) Geranium sanguineum var. striatum 'Apple Blossom' look particularly delicate and fragile. She offers plenty of nectar and pollen for bees, bumblebees and butterflies.

Planted my dwarf crested iris

Amongst a crossvine and some native lyreleaf sage (I think) that's gone to seed

Thought you'd like to see some other little native "weeds"

this is a Carolina geranium, a little less showy than the "wild" geranium, but it still has the cute little "cranesbill" seedpods they're named for

This is vetch, both of these are great for your dirt and nice nibbles for critters

This is a false wild strawberry-technically edible but not tasty- it's a non-native but the pollinators still like the flowers so i don't usually yank it out

Volunteer pumpkin to round things out, it has more of the Carolina geranium poking up through

Hi, could you think of any potential substitutions for the flowers in your patience oil? I have lavender, but no hyacinth or geranium (unless you count cranesbill aka wild geranium, which I don't think is the same). I prefer to use locally foraged botanicals, so anything you might recommend of that nature would be a plus!

Of course! Because I don't know where you're located and therefore don't really know what you can forage, I'll try to keep the options based on what can be found in most grocery stores. For those who haven't seen the post, this is the patience oil mentioned.

Instead of geranium, I would suggest rosemary. Rosemary is fantastic for repelling negativity while invoking goodness, so that would work well.

Instead of hyacinth, I recommend basil because it repels negativity and weaknesses. Basil can also help protect you from further impatience or grudges.

I would also suggest using a crushed acorn to help further empower the oil.

It may not be the exact same as the original recipe, but it should do in a pinch!

Hope this helps!

[Red Clover (trifolium pratense) + Carolina Geranium / Cranesbill (geranium carolinianum)]

Both are incredibly useful medicinals and are edible, though the wild geranium contains tannins which inhibit a bitter taste. Whereas the clover is wondrously sweet.

Instagram Repost: March 25, 2023

The garden's going a bit bonkers now that Spring's actually sprung properly. And so when I've had the energy and ability to do so, I've been doing my traditional Walkabouts to see what's out. Round two's what's popping up around the yard so far 🌿

Eastern Redbud Tree (Cercis Canadensis cv Unknown)- native, AND edible!

Henbit (Lamium Amplexicaule)- an edible!

Winter Speedwell (Veronica Persica)- most Speedwell species (Veronica spp.) are edible, too!

Shephard's Purse (Capsella Bursa-Pastoris)- another edible!

Grape Hyacinth (Muscari Armeniacum)- an escaped garden plant that has now taken over; in some areas it's considered an Invasive, while in others it's Naturalized. Also edible, surprisingly, and are NOT related to true Hyacinths!

Dandelion (Taraxacum spp. Unknown)- another edible, but practically everyone knows that. Even more interesting: Did you know there's over 40 species of Dandelions, not including created garden cultivars?

Storksbill / Cranesbill (Erodium Cicutarium)- you guessed it: Also edible!

I absolutely hate my new phone because it seems like it can never get a good photo of anything. The quality's always atrocious, no matter how much I fiddle with the settings- and Macro does nothing to help in the slightest (thanks Samsung, I guess).

Anyways: Please remember that just because something IS edible, it doesn't mean you don't need to research before eating it; both wild and urban foraging requires absolute unquestionable certainty that what you're harvesting has been properly identified with 100% accuracy.

If you're ever in doubt, it's always best to leave it out! Or, in the words of the absolutely wonderful human being that is Alexis Nikole (otherwise known as @blackforager on most social media sites) "Happy snacking, DON'T DIE!"

Cranesbill wild flower | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing. Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. My sketches start life as hand-drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch. The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavyweight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations. Very limited editions with only ten per size printed. All artwork is signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The A5 are 5.8" x 8.25" (14.8cm x 21cm) The A4 are 8.25" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.8cm) The A3 are 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) The A2 are 16.5" x 23.4" (42 cm x 59.4cm) Originals are A3 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) Frames not included in price.

Fields of Dreams

“When the primal forces of nature tell you to do something, the prudent thing is not to quibble over details.”

~ From the movie, Field of Dreams

Is there anyone who doesn’t marvel over the sight of a fabulous field of flowers? As a plantaholic, I swoon each spring when the promise of a kaleidoscope of flora burst from the ground. Alas! This year my swooning turned into sweating.

With the twelve atmospheric rivers and continued rain through May, the ground is also bursting with unwanted weeds of every sort…bindweed, choke weed, thistle, dayflowers, vetch, black medic, wild cutleaf geranium, dock, fleabane, spurge, ragweed, cudweed, euphorbia, poisonous hemlock, unidentifiable thugs, and a plethora of grasses blown in from the hills.

Yes, I know. A weed is just a plant growing where it is not wanted. Yet many of these unwelcome invaders are pernicious, poisonous, prickly, and painful. For the past two months, I have spent every free moment living the advice from the film and doing the prudent thing caused by the primal forces of nature…digging and pulling up the roots of these assailants. I practice the no-dig method to maintain my fields and borders. The less the soil is turned, the fewer weeds will sprout, or so the research indicates. Last spring, I added innumerable yards of nutrient-rich soil and covered it with equal amounts of mulch. In the fall, I scattered seeds of nasturtium, nigella, seafoam statice (also known as sea lavender in the Limonium species), and calendula, as well as rhizomes of various bearded iris and corms of common cornflag. Climbing roses adorn the fence. Everything sprouted as anticipated, but the winds and the birds brought these uninvited visitors who happily took up residence in the lush environment.

When the broadleaf wild cutleaf geranium is small, it is quite beautiful with tiny pink flowers and bright lime green leaves. It is also very fragrant. As this cranesbill matures with its red stems it spreads two or more feet wrapping around neighboring flower stems, making weeding more difficult. The leaf structure mingles with the nigella often resulting in more love-in-the-mist being eradicated than is wanted. Bindweed, with flowers that mimic morning glory, twines to the top of any plant, adding to the difficulty of clearing it from the orchard. Many of the grasses that self-seeded from the surrounding hillsides would be interesting in a container as a stand-alone display, but infiltrated into the centers of my flowers hinder the graceful arches of color.

Allergy season is ferocious this year. My eyes are consistently red and irritated and despite taking an antihistamine, I sneeze while weeding. According to a 2021 study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of America, an academic journal, between 1990 and 2018, the North American pollen season lengthened 20 days with 20% more pollen. Warming temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are cited as causing increased pollen production. Trees, grass, and weeds are causing this sniffling, stuffiness, coughing, congestion, and itching. Hopefully, these seasonal allergies will be alleviated by late June.

As I write this, I’m taking a break from my weeding work. Tomorrow I’ll be back wearing my coveralls, hat, sunglasses, apron, boots, and gloves for another round of freeing my fields of dreams from the primal forces of nature. Slowly and joyfully, I am witnessing the glistening glory of my efforts.

Happy Gardening. Happy Growing.

Cynthia Brian’s June Digging Deep Gardening Tips

CLEAN patio furniture with a thorough scrubbing of lounge chairs and cushions.

MAINTAIN your weeding schedule. Be vigilant pulling weeds as soon as they appear as they zap nutrients and water from plants. Make certain to get the roots.

ECHO colors when you plant. Even if you plant different plants of form and texture, to capture the exuberance and energy of flow, plant swaths of the same color in opposing areas.

PRUNE lilacs after blooming to encourage more blooms next year. Lilacs can be pruned by 1/3 for optimal flowering.

LIFT your mood by designing a refuge area amongst your favorite plants with a bench or chair where you can relax, recharge, and feel protected. Throughout my landscape, I have created areas to sit, rest, and appreciate the natural beauty.

PLANT pumpkins now for a Halloween harvest. This is also a perfect opportunity to get your corn, eggplant, beets, and cucumbers started.

SUCCESSION plant your greens every three weeks including lettuce and arugula as well as root vegetables like carrots, radishes, and turnips.

SOW seeds of basil, cilantro, chives, and parsley for a summer season of savory spices.

CHECK your drip irrigation systems as well as any sprinkler heads.

WATER only once or twice a week, early in the morning when the plants will absorb the most or later in the evening.

PROPAGATE azaleas, carnations, fuchsias, and hydrangeas by taking cuttings and planting in rich soil.

DEADHEAD spent rose petals weekly to encourage continuous blossoms. Roses are spectacular this year. Keep them healthy and blooming.

MULCH your entire garden with at least three inches of material to help retain moisture, keep the soil cooler, and prevent drought related problems throughout the upcoming hot months.

BRIGHTEN patios, porches, and balconies with containers of colorful Bowles mauve (wallflower), petunias, or sweet William flowers.

30 Days Wild, Day 4, Part One

I had a little more time today, so I headed out on a walk. My village is boxed in by quarries and major roads, but there are still some nice enough footpaths. I took a few shots of some of the various flowers I chanced across - some lovely colours visible today!

Not sure what these are - much longer and hardier stalks than the dandelions that have been growing in the garden.

I think this may be Purple Cranesbill

Orange Ball Buddleja, complete with busy honeybee.

An intricate purple Colombine flower. I picked one for pressing - they really are very pretty flowers.

Der Blut-Storchschnabel 'Ankum's Pride' ist eine wunderschöne Sorte. Besonders wegen seiner leuchtend rosaroten Blüten ist der (bot.) Geranium sanguineum var. striatum 'Ankum's Pride' bei vielen Gärtnern beliebt, weil ein ausgezeichneter Bodendecker ist. Durch seinen niedrigen, aber dichten Wuchs bildet er leuchtend rosarote Teppiche. Sie bietet reichlich Nektar und Pollen für Bienen, Hummeln und Schmetterlingen an.

The blood cranesbill 'Ankum's Pride' is a beautiful variety. The (bot.) Geranium sanguineum var. striatum 'Ankum's Pride' is particularly popular among many gardeners because of its bright pink flowers and excellent ground cover. Due to its low but dense growth, it forms bright pink carpets. She provides plenty of nectar and pollen for bees, bumblebees and butterflies.

i have all these pics on my phone and they are simply too cool to just delete. they’re from trip to burren i took with work…. this is what we thought was a thyme broomrape… if u look to bottom left you’ll see wild thyme which is what it parasitises on. it doesn’t have chlorophyll how cool is that

this amazing thing is a mountain aven once it has finished flowering. i think it looks like a falling star… u can also see it’s leaves all around it too
