Monarch butterfly visiting Milkweed in Philadelphia
A few years ago we planted Milkweed seeds on our block in front of a vacant lot. Last year we had Monarch butterflies playing out their life cycle on them and this spring they are back! Phots taken Saturday May 11, 2019
Our urban rowhouse native plant woodland garden, spring 2019
Our backyard and a vacant lot on our block we purchased and transformed into a native plant garden are flourishing with a rich diversity of Pennsylvania native spring wildflowers. Trillium erectum, Trillium grandiflorum, Cornus florida, Lonicera sempervirens, (‘major wheeler’) Mertensia virginica, Dicentra cucullaria, Aquilegia canadensis …..
We found some bloodroot growing with a big seed pod as well!
