Garden natives in early fall

[Don Boucher]

Hello,

The change in weather makes it feel more like autumn. I'm admiring the changes in our native plant gasrden at our house in NE Corvallis. Some plants linger with blossoms such as Willamette Valley Gumweed, Douglas' Aster, and even a couple snowberry blossoms.

Douglas' Aster (Symphyotrichum subspicatum)
Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis magaritacea)
Red Columbine - seed pods (Aquilegia formosa)
Snowberry - fruits and blossoms (Symphoricarpos albus)
Willamette Valley Gumweed (Grindelia integrifolia)

Band-tails, both juvs and adults, “raided” our ripe snowberries this morning.

Happy to have them plunder before they head for warmer climes.
