Spring Ephemerals are flowers who bloom and produce valuable nutrients and resources early in spring, then seemingly vanish! After being pollinated, they completely die back, leaving no trace that they were ever there. Many of our standard flowering perennials will bloom, then leave their leaves (irises) or stalks (goldenrod) behind as evidence that they once existed!

I've been busy making these "colored-in-linework" pieces as part of a project I'm working on: making Herbalism-by-the-Season Plant ID cards!

On a super warm day, this Spring Tonic slush can be a welcome treat! It's filled with berries and spring Cleavers (Gallium aparine), which is a wonderful plant that helps to wake up immune systems.

Today is #WorldBeeDay, and a perfect time to plant some native pollinator plants in your garden, patio container, or window box!
