#did u know a lot of prairie grass actually blooms!! it's a 2-for-1 grass and flower situation

u guys i grew this swamp milkweed from seed starting in february inside and pretty much thought i killed them when i transplanted them into the yard but they really started taking off suddenly and then yesterday i was rewarded with the sight of them starting to bloom :')

i didnt expect them to be so dainty and delicate 🥺 they're critical hosts for monarch butterflies but also generally good for all types of butterflies and bees. and they can grow in clay, which is what most of our yard is! \o/

#and they're native to where i live! killing my grass planting all milkweed 😂 #jk i will have other flowers n plants in there #i mean i'm not jk ab killing the grass #(i mean i am planting native prairie and wetland grasses in its place so there will still be 'grass' it just won't be a 'lawn') #did u know a lot of prairie grass actually blooms!! it's a 2-for-1 grass and flower situation #neway how CUUUUTE !!!+ #my lyfe #plant lyfe
