"warm season fire"? Meaning wild fires? Or..?

Control burn in the spring is best for wild life edible native plants

Warm season fires were what would occur naturally because lightning was a spring and summer event

Yes! It IS a cool website and a great resource. I love how "personalized" it is to your local area, so you can real zero in on where you live. It's pretty great for people who are just getting started and want to be pointed in a certain direction, but also, for people who've been doing it awhile, you can make sure you haven't forgotten about a really important plant!

YES! It's like this joyful event!

Thank you! It was fun to make and think about a garden design in this way!

She also did videos on liberal and moderate. You don't have to be nasty over it.

Why the attitude. Can’t u just be civil. And she did one for liberals as well. Good grief.

Thank you! I'm so glad this video series made you smile. :-) What's your favorite purple plant? So many native plants are purple (which is LOVELY!), which makes me wonder your favorite purple one! I'm sorry to hear about your mom -- being biased to using so much purple in your own garden is such a beautiful tribute.

@@nativeflowerpower9942 My favorite purple native plant....oh wow..that's extremely tough. I don't know if I can pick one, but I will give you three that come to mind right away: Purple passionflower vine [Passiflora incarnata] ; American Beautyberry [Callicarpa americana] ; and Eastern Redbud [Cercis canadensis]. I love all three of those a lot, but I have trouble picking a favorite. What about you??

I've heard from you before, haven't I? Still loving the Lannister icon. :-) You're always welcome here. :-) :-) I absolutely appreciate the suggestion! I like doing these garden design videos because (A) They're fun to make, they tickle my brain, but more importantly, (B) It's a possible way to pull in some new people and introduce them to native plants. Your suggestion is a nice addition to pulling new people in (or introducing unfamiliar native plants to native plant enthusiasts), which is to do a mini-showcase of sorts for the lesser-known plants. I love that idea.

@@nativeflowerpower9942 Yes Ma'am. I believe I made a comment asking about the life cycle of Native Red Columbines, and you responded. As I indicated before, I am learning a ton here. I find all kinds of videos on the commonly found flowers like Daffodils, Roses, etc., but very few about the natives. That's a big reason that I appreciate your channel. Thank you for educating us on these lesser known gems. 😎

Thank you for saying that! I probably shouldn't have been surprised, but alas, I am! I thought they were fun videos, introducing native plants to new people perhaps, pointing out the nice elements of each political group ... kind-of a nice, quiet, vaguely-amusing sidebar to all that's happening right now. Oh well. I enjoyed making them, some people seem to be enjoying them, and everyone else ... *shrug Oh well! Thank you for your comment, helps keep it all in perspective! :-)

Well, now that we know the results… I’m wondering if the wildlife loving “conservative” folks are getting hyped up over wonderful way Trump enjoys stripping environmental protections (once again). God bless America! 🫠

@@LostInThisGardenofLife- I am asking myself the same question. Actually I am losing sleep over what the next four years will have in store for us!

Yes! Trilliums are so so so lovely!! Even the 'smelly' ones aren't noticeably smelly unless you're right up close. I love how singular they are. ❤

@@nativeflowerpower9942 There is just something magical about them!

Thank you! You see? Like I said, people who really know native plants, get into the grasses! 🙂And you know native plants, girl! Did you put those grasses in with a design plan in mind, or just wherever they fit?

@@nativeflowerpower9942 A little of both. Some of them I put in where they fit, but others I had more of a plan in mind. :) There are some I am thinking of moving around, which with grasses will probably be better to do in late spring or early summer.

@@awildapproach It's funny you mention that, because here in Fall time, I just moved a bunch of plants to new places where they should do better. Live and learn. :-) We'll know in the Spring if that worked well or not.

@@nativeflowerpower9942 Fall is the best time for most plants (almost all of them). For warm season grasses, late spring / early summer is best.

Oh jeepers, thanks for noticing that!

Good question. So here I'm looking at Rudbeckia hirta, and what you're talking about is Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii, right? Same genus, different species. There will definitely be similarities, but they are different species, so there are certain to be differences too. R. hirta is generally biennial and I believe that R. fulgida is perennial. They are similar in height and bloom time. Does that help at all?

Oh I am so happy to hear that!!! I definitely do love my Swamp Milkweed and all that it brings to our yard! :-)

Thank you for saying so! ☺

Yes! I'm glad you liked the video! :-) I do love native plants, there's no denyin' it! ❤❤

Candy! :-p That makes me smile. Definitely a sweet smell that's nice to have around.

It's so lovely! Do you notice/like its smell?

Thank you 🙂

Yes, I know! They can get big! And in their first year! I was also surprised in my first year with them. A pleasant surprise though.

This past year I cut them back and each place where I cut them, several side shoots came out and produced flower spikes. So it *seems like more flowers were produced (*seems because I didn't actually count flower spikes this year versus previous years). I had hoped for more bushy/sturdy plants (and less tall/floppy); however, those side shoots still grew another foot (1") after I cut them which was more than I expected, and so they still were over 4 feet tall. Next year, I'm going to cut them back by about half, and sooner in the year ( around early June), so that when those side shoots grow more, it'll still be a shorter, sturdier plant. That's the plan anyways. In case it helps for looking up more info on this, that method is called "the Chelsea Chop". I think Anise Hyssop is a GREAT plant for doing it. In my case, I didn't get the timing early enough, and didn't chop enough.

I really appreciate your concentration on one plant, start to maturity! Than you

Thank you so much for saying so! I aim to be helpful and am glad to be achieving that a bit! :-)

You're welcome :-)

Oh goodness. I do not have bunny issues with this plant, and we do have a lot of bunnies around. We only have deer issues. Are you saying that you legitimately caged them and STILL the bunnies got to them? I had caged some Campanula americana (Tall Bellflower) and groundhogs were still able to get them, but definitely not the bunnies. So again, with a cage, bunnies got them?

@@nativeflowerpower9942 yes bunnies the size of a cat I’m afraid… got to them ☹️☹️ we had big ones n a colony of them this year never b4 … n hopefully next yr they will not return 🤞🤞🤞

It is! You think you found the exact video that you're looking for and then the speaking starts, and... ... "Ugh, artificial robot thingie...I can't listen to this!" Annoying is the right word for it. Glad my real-person-human status is a plus :-)

Oh good! I'm glad to hear that :-)

You're welcome! I'm always glad to hear that a video is a help! :-)

I want to say yes. Will watch if anyone disagrees Swamp milkweed is one generally liked a lot Will keep an eye out on for responses.

@@marydiscuillo142 An update! In editing one of my many photos of nectaring Monarchs, when I zoomed in to crop the photo weeks afterwards, I noticed a Monarch caterpillar on a leaf above the Monarch I was photographing!! So, yes, the Monarchs will lay eggs on a cultivar :-) It was also a reminder, that sometimes when we focus on the most obvious, we miss the beauty in the shadows.

I'm very glad to hear that!

I'm so glad to hear a spectacular! These are my favorite types of videos to make!

Oh I'm glad to hear that. I tell ya what, I love lofi. At some point it occurred to me that heck, I have a youtube channel, I can make lofi videos of my own if I'd like! I'm glad someone else is enjoying them too. :-)

Well now that's interesting. Two of my A. tuberosa plants have done a second bloom this year. That's not happened before and it's interesting to hear that it's happened to someone else too!
