I think you need to blow up larger versions of your photos, and post them at Joy Creek so people can see what they will actually do when out of their little nursery pots. You have some stunningly beautiful varieties.

Do you think I'll regret it?<br /><br />You have a great point about marketing natives - they often don't look very showy in a pot but once they do their thing in the ground, they often look spectacular. Photos are a great idea.<br /><br />I too love Pacific Iris and Ceanothus - they do well for you?Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-89365481403724050282019-05-16T20:21:44.899-07:002019-05-16T20:21:44.899-07:00I wish you could grow some too!

Right now it looks like nothing more than a pile of flowers! It's yellow, my least favorite. All the wonderful magenta died. <br />I couldn't keep Oregon sunshine alive either.<br />I don't seem to do so well with natives! Maybe I'd better not try that wonderful penstemon! My non-native, unknown kind, is doing well though!<br />I should have paid more attention to my father, he collected seeds and grew so many natives in N.

Native plants need better marketing I think, at least that's true here where garden centers find it hard to sell anything that isn't covered in fluffy flowers at the time of purchase. I've noticed that our local conservancy organization has taken to posting photos of many of them in bloom when they hold sales.<br /><br />My favorite natives are Pacific Iris, Ceanothus, and Romneya coulteri, although the latter is showing signs of becoming a bit too exuberant.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-28127065713748827762019-05-16T11:26:32.450-07:002019-05-16T11:26:32.450-07:00You have a great assortment of natives.

We have closely related cousins growing here in Alberta. Best thing about natives is they don't require any help from us to survive. Unfortunately, pocket gophers love them too so frequently lose many of them, especially penstemon. Penstemons are usually quite short-lived but here self seed abundantly. luv2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883799040439283011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-49868818669135380622019-05-16T08:52:32.417-07:002019-05-16T08:52:32.417-07:00Your Pacific Coast Iris looks a lot like one I'...Your Pacific Coast Iris looks a lot like one I've brought to a few Bloggers swaps, if you took one it might be that.
