First native flower in the garden: Three-flowered Avens (Geum triflorum). I planted this one last year, and this is its first flower.

Another shot from yesterday - a Nevada Bumblebee (Bombus nevadensis) on wild licorice (Glycyrrhiza lepidota) along the Meewasin.

Really interesting study on the importance native pollinators.

"Flowers pollinated by honeybees make fewer and lower-quality seeds than flowers visited by other pollinators."

Got a tip that the grounds crew at a local school district was going to spray herbicide and kill a patch of milkweed, joe pye weed, and other native wildflowers. So we took shovels and tried to save some to plant in our yard.
