Tom<p>Looks like the purple chokeberries will have some blossoms this year. They were planted 4 years ago but moved from the original too hot/dry location last year.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/shrubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shrubs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FlowerBuds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FlowerBuds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aronia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aronia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AroniaPrunifolia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AroniaPrunifolia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spring</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NativePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativePlants</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/April3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>April3</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a></p>

Joan Carroll<p>I loved this scenic view in Capitol Reef National Park because of all the layers of flora and rock formations from a foreground of shrubs and grasses to distant background red rock cliffs.

LionelB<p>This is one of my favourite plants. There was once a time when it was so common in gardens that it was viewed with snobbery. Too easy to grow. Too bright.</p><p>It is Kerria. I hardly ever see it now. I grow it in what passes for a tiny woodland clearing.</p><p>When first planted, the crows reacted furiously to the flowers and did a wrecking job. I have no idea what was going on in their heads.</p><p><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/shrubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shrubs</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/kerria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kerria</span></a></p>

Ciara<p>It's a big shrub not a small tree. I'm tempted to sneak back to the first toot and whistle casually while changing the hashtag from <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trees</span></a> to <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Shrubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shrubs</span></a> before running off. But that would be misusing the spirit of Mastodon's Edit function. My ignorance shall stand. (I did throw in 'Perhaps it's a bush?' in the AltText but that may be even worse: I knew I might be wrong but didn't bother to check.)</p><p>Glasbær. Bodinier's beautyberry.

Rasta<p>I grow trees from seed &amp; require big pots, not decorator ones, but those soft, one-time use, for trees/shrubs at garden centers. Most staff have met me before &amp; give me their discard soft-side tree pots. One, hadn't emptied them yet, I said I'd take them for the potting soil, &amp; I revived the shrubs. <br>It was a dead stick with a label that said HYDRANGEA $39. It's kept pruned to 4 foot high now.

Rudie V. :bhjflag_bisexual: 🌹<p>Here's a good example of a plant that is invasive (Mahonia bealei, in the Berberis family) but flies under the radar in that regard because seedlings (distributed by birds) tend to pop up away from peoples' yards...in dense, undisturbed woods, in this case, where they go unnoticed. I found this large grove of them at the back edge of a local park; there was one super large plant surrounded for hundreds of feet in all directions by countless smaller ones. The only native Mahonia is M. aquifolium, which makes its home primarily from British Columbia to the U.S. Pacific northwest (Washington and Oregon). <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/plants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/shrubs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shrubs</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/PlantNatives" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlantNatives</a></p>
