Augie...somewhere you have to have a dandelion!
Augie...somewhere you have to have a dandelion!
Its all redbud around here in KC, that and White blossoming Bradford pears (Which are now considered an invasive species! Good for smoking meat though!)
We have a few now but didn’t for several years. I think I had gotten the orange tiger lilies before we ever saw a dandelion. This was forest when we got here.
multiflora rose - white
wild cherry - white
serviceberry - white
dogwood - white
That was it.
We do have 1-2 tiny redbuds down at the bottom of the property but we only see them when driving in or out. Maybe I’ll dig them up and bring them up here someday. I should grab the shovel someday and just go house to house and ask if I can dig a few dafodils. Most people have them growing wild at the roadside. A few have dug some and put them in their yard. They’re done blooming for this year so it might bother people less when I ask to dig a few. Some people also have wild shrubs that flower yellow or bright red in early Spring. Don’t know if they’d propagate from cuttings.
For foliage, we had the sumac one year and then got the goats and they’re keeping it defoliated now. Also poison ivy turns red but the goats will likely finish them off this year which is fine by me. Deer berry have some color but they’re dull, far from the house and the goats will probably kill those off. Oaks and hickory are yellow aside from a few red oak deeper in the woods. Everything visible from the house is yellow foliage the the post/pin oak is a dull yellow for a few days and then goes brown. Hickory is a vibrant yellow. Just need some vibrant orange, red and maroon mixed in and keep on cutting down those post/pin oaks.
