Native Plants - Blog Posts

Thank you for this quick overview. Lawns were originally designed to imitate sheep pastures like you might find outside a old English manner house but we have drifted to mono-diversity and sterility.

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

I've gotten very fixated on plants recently and have been trying to learn more about the native plants in my area, as well as getting better at botanical drawing. So here's a couple studies I did on a penstemon flower! penstemon serrulatus i think, to be specific. also known as Coast Penstemon, or Cascade Penstemon.

Also, here's some of the photos I took!

I think these might be my new favorite flower tbh, I really want to try growing some!
