Excited about all the flowers on this Tahoka daisy (𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢). Perennials started this spring might not bloom this year. This annual is really showing off. #nativeseed #nativeplants #prairie #southdakota #wildflowers #bees #nature
8 species of Penstemon are native to South Dakota (USDA Plants Database). Penstemons are nectar producers & attract floral visitors. Photo credit: April L. Stahnke available at openprairie.sdstate.edu/nativeplant #nativeseed #nativeplants #prairie #southdakota #wildflowers #bees #pollinators
There are native iris, but this is not one of them. Dr. Gary Larson gave me this one when I moved to Brookings. Gary was on the search committee that hired me. He was a great friend, mentor, and role model. I will miss him. And now there is more pressure to not kill the iris.
Just plant and go, no irrigation. It’s all about the roots. More roots= higher survival. 𝘈𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘶𝘮 (anise hyssop or blue giant hyssop) #grownativeplants #nativeseeds #nativeplants #prairie #southdakota #reallivingscientist #womeninSTEM #womeninag
Groundplum milkvetch (𝘈𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘱𝘶𝘴). Attractive to birds, eaten by wildlife, pretty purple flowers, weird spherical fruits- what more could you want? Photo: April Stahnke & R. Neil Reese at openprairie.sdstate.edu/nativeplant/6/ #grownativeplants #nativeseed
Field pussytoes (𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘢) is an early bloomer and makes a silvery ground cover in drier sites. Photos: April Stahnke & R. Neil Reese available at openprairie.sdstate.edu/nativeplant/81/ #grownativeplants #nativeplants #nativeseed #prairie #southdakota #wildflowers
Productive day, despite the wind. Two species down, 7 to go. Approx 2,000 Geum triflorum and 200 Penstemon albidus are in the ground. @sdstatelocalfoods #grownativeplants #choosenativeplants #nativeseeds #southdakota #prairie #seedproduction #locallygrown
Still prepping our field site. Next week, we will be planting native plant production plots! #grownativeplants #nativeseeds #choosenativeplants #southdakota #prairie #seedproduction #nativeplants
Getting ready to get transplants in the field. Thanks for the help @sdstatelocalfoods and Dr. Boe #fieldofflowers #fieldprep #nativeplants #nativeseeds #grownativeplants #southdakota #prairie

What happens when @sdsu_localfoodseducationcenter and SDState native plant initiative collaborate? Hopefully, 𝘗𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘮 𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘮 (aka Prairie turnip or large breadroot) #nativeseed #nativeplants #prairie #southdakota #florafriday #nativefoods
Wish you made it to SDState Native Plant Initiative's plant sale? Wish you picked up more plants when you where there? Lucky you! There are still a good number of our plants left at @SixMileNursery! #grownativeplants #nativeseed #nativeplants #prairie #southdakota #wildflowers
