#pasturefind

Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa). Tonight @brentragsdale and I took a walk in our pasture. As usual, we discovered something beautiful in this never-plowed place: over a dozen separate plants of the reddest butterfly milkweed I’ve ever seen. In past years I’ve only seen one or two plants that were the typical orange. I think taking a walk with this husband of mine is something I should do more often. Good things always happen when he’s around. Happy Fathers Day, Brent. You truly are awesome. #luckyme #awesomehusband #fathersday #pasturefind #nativeplants #naturelovers #prairieplants #prairieinthebackyard (at Happy Apple's Farm)

First Monarch caterpillar. I took a little walk out into the pasture to see if there might be eggs on the milkweeds...and I saw this! It was big and pretty. I think it’s been here a while. #butterfly #caterpillar #monarch #nativeplants #pasturefind (at Happy Apple's Farm)

Regrann from @gardenrambler - Pasture find. I discovered a new plant on a walk through my pasture a few days ago. These really cool seed heads caught my eye and a quick note to @photo.pheline got me a quick answer...Ludwigia alternifolia which goes by the common name Bushy Seedbox. It’s a good plant which makes me happy. It’s so cute! And having a prairie ecologist friend is pretty awesome. Thanks Courtney! #happyhuman #pasturefind #nativeplants #learnsomethingneweveryday #stilllearning #wentforawalkLeearango123 - #regrann

@Regranned from @gardenrambler - Rigid Goldenrod (Solidago rigida) seed heads. These white, fluffy structures look beautiful with the warm colors of bluestem in the afternoon light. Yesterday's high winds sent millions of these seeds flying, filling the air with what looked like snow flurries. #happyapplesfarm #kansas #weather #lovemyjob #pasturefind #nativeplants #eventheseedsarepretty #fall - #regrann #lovely @repost @leearango123 (@get_repost ) (at Kendall West, Florida)

The gardener @Regranned from @gardenrambler - Field Pussytoes (Antennaria neglecta). This is something I've wanted in my garden for probably 20 years - a solid mat of these gorgeous silver-green leaves. Pretty amazing that they grow in my pasture. This patch in my garden really took off this year. Looking forward to a lot of fuzzy flowers in early March. #success #nativeplants #nativegardens #kansas #gardeningwithnatives #pasturefind #tinytreasures #happyapplesfarm - #regrann #repsrcvv #repost @leearango123 (@get_repost ) (at West Kendall)
