Blooms on the Farm

Swamp Mallow ... Don't let the name fool you this Ohio native is not the swamp thing of movies. It typically loves wet low spots on a farm. In exchange for these wet low spots the plant rewards us with pink and white blooms that are typically the size of small dinner plates. It is also a native hibiscus species.

As with most things in farming, not everything follows rules. The swamp mallows just appeared next to our stairs one day and have been thriving ever since.

Pink mimosa .... One of the really cool things about this tree are the pink quote flowers". They're actually a burst of silky stamens and not petals.

Hibiscus ... These big, bold and impossible to miss blooms only last a day. But they live in style. Wide. Open flowers with beautiful pops of color. It make everything around them. Look tropical and exotic.

Follow along for more plant and herb facts!

Which of these are your favorite?
If you love hibiscus do you have a favorite color of hibiscus flower?

Everyone was out enjoying life today. I enjoyed seeing the chickens follow us around as we did some weeding and planting today.

This little visitor is a Hairstreak butterfly.

​Clues that define the Hair streak look are: a signature white-and-black striped antennae and the tiny, delicate "tail" projection on the hindwing (which helps distract predators from its actual head).

​Underwing Pattern: The soft, earthy brown underside features a postmedian band of darker, white-edged dashes or oval spots, along with a small blue and orange spot near the lower edge of the wing.

​These tiny butterflies are common across Ohio and the eastern United States during the summer months, often found darting around oak or hickory trees before stopping to rest—or checking out a sample tin of Woodsman Salve!
