I’ve been waiting for another video like this from you. This is the best native planting channel on UA-cam! Thanks so much for sharing:,)
Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that! This is absolutely my favorite type of video to make.
I really appreciate the time and care you put into this video. The detail is incredible! I love seeing the timeline , especially what they look like when breaking out in the spring!
Thank you! Oh yes, I LOVE when they come up in the spring! They start peeking through and it always feels amazing! Like, "Oh my gosh, it's really going to happen again this year!!" Plants are pretty awesome, in truth.
Thank you so much for helping me learn the plant! I think I"ll add it to my little habitat.
It's surely a lovely one! A very pretty addition to a habitat. I've never been much of a "birder" but seeing the birds come in for the seeds is something that's more fun to watch than I expected!
Thank you so much for this!! I often wonder how plants look through the year
When I first started getting into native plants, that's what I wanted to see too! It's why I started the channel even :-)
I hope you are right about bad bugs and good bugs because this year I sure had the bad bugs
Hello @Native Flower Power , Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos. I ran across your channel about a month and a half ago since I was looking into interesting flowers to plant in my yard. I have since subscribed and learned a ton since courtesy of your work. I will definitely plant Coneflowers in my yard going forward.
I do have a request though. I have recently planted Eastern Red Columbines in the hopes of attracting more hummingbirds to my yard. Could you do a similar video on the Eastern Red Columbine when you have an opportunity?
Again, thanks a million for the efforts that you put into these videos. They are greatly appreciated.
Thank you so very much for your comment. I'm glad this video type is helpful to you. It's my favorite type of video to make, but of course, the most time-consuming. :-) I'm actually working on a Columbine video, so yes, that will be coming. But in how long? Not sure, I'm still getting video right now! I do very much appreciate the suggestion of what would be helpful to you.
Also, I adore your youtube icon.
My daughter used to pet bumble bees. You are only the second person I've heard does that.
YESSS to your daughter! Who needs to pet a dog or cat when you can pet bumblebees?! :-p
Love your content sm!
Thank you so much!
New subscriber here. Rabbits ate all my cone flowers. I'm going to replant but fence them.
Ooof. Yes, those rabbits. They are brutal. Also, groundhogs. I'm in a bit of a war with 2 groundhogs right now too.
Little fences or cages work GREAT against rabbits and so-so against groundhogs (I've had one of those determined groundhogs pull a cage down, and another time, it ate everything that was growing above the cage level).
I have also had success against both groundhogs and rabbits by planting things they like in the middle of things they don't like (eg, Agastache foeniculum [Anise Hyssop], Monarda fistulosa [Wild Bergamot]).
I would LOVE to hear how your fencing works against your rabbits!
I did notice the lack of mulch honelstly not really any of last years dead growth. is that universally a good idea or more in your zone...I'm in 6B ish I'd say we get chili in winter...follow up I hear what u say later in the video but I see the vids of new growth coming up out of bear soil
Do you have problems with slugs eating them
100% no. I've not seen any slugs yet. Any other people out there having slug trouble? There are a lot of predators that like a good slug meal, so I do recommend not spraying those slugs and giving time for the predators to come in and take care of it for you. Get a little natural habitat going! :-)
Is there a way I can remove your sign from blocking the video image...? Maybe better to include your obstructive extra written info labels ..in your "More" info area ..👋
