Saturday Gardening Thread: Going Wild in Oregon [KT]![]() The astute J.J. Sefton linked a report yesterday morning on the atmospheric river, or Pineapple Express, headed toward California. And in the ONT, CDR M reported on wild weather forecased for the South. The first precipitation from the Pineapple Express has already reached us. Lots of snow in other parts of the nation. Not much (outdoor) gardening going on, I would guess. Fortunately, the most adventurous, inventive and observant Oregon gardener on the Saturday Gardening Thread, Kindltot, has provided us with some reminders that spring will come someday. The flower in the inspiring photo above will be discussed in a future episode. We have enough spring photos for more than one week! Without further ado, here's Kindltot: I live in Oregon, in the Willamette valley, and the best time to find wild flowers in the late Spring and the Early Summer. When high Summer rolls around we don't have many wild flowers left. During the Spring though there are lots of wonderful discoveries. One of the things my Mom loved to do was to look for wildflowers. One of the reason I am focused on them is from Mom telling me about them. ![]() ![]() I am already starting to get a better idea what gardening is like where Kindltot lives. I will go through some of these pictures sort of in time sequence. Most of the wildflowers have regional names so I add the Linnaean names as well. ![]() I have a sister who lives in Oregon, and I have read a little about the wild bees there. Apparently, they are active earlier in spring than honeybees. You can buy bees and tubes for some species to nest in. The kinds of bees they sell will not live where I do. We do have some leaf-cutting bees here. They were used to pollinate seed alfalfa a few years ago. Haven't seen seed alfalfa planted much around here lately. Back to Kindltot: One of the wild violets here is the yellow stream violet, Viola glabella - at least that's what I think it is. . ![]() I have never seen a yellow violet in a garden. I have seen them in the mountains. We called them yellow violets when they were in Mom's garden or dog violets in the woods. They show up in the underbrush and in the plants in wet spots, like stream sides. ![]() I am wild about violets. Looks like "dog violet" is a generic term for an unscented violet. But J.L. Hudson used to sell seed for a scented yellow violet. Can't remember which species. This is already fun and we haven't even gotten to Kindletot's wild lily photos. Tune in again next wee. Thanks, Kindltot! Gardens of The Horde Most of my rain preparation has been rigging up and securing extra protection for our partly-feral Garden Kitties. Anything going on in your yard or garden? I am foraging some chickweed and lamb's quarters. Digging up annual nettle and other weeds. Doing any indoor gardening? I am starting some greens. Thinking about starting some tomatoes. Spring is coming . . . Stay safe in the storms. | Recent Comments
