Plant of the Day

Monday 8 July 2019

On an abandoned homestead in New Brunswick, Canada, a Malus sylvestris cultivar (apple) tree was covered in flowers and humming with bees. The surrounding meadow included an introduced European herbaceous species, Hieracium aurantiacum (Devil’s paintbrush, orange hawkweed, fox and cubs) with distinctive orange flowers.

Couple of years ago I used soluble Origami models to distribute wildflower seeds. Yesterday I walked past one of the locations I did this and this beautiful 'Fox and Cubs' is still going strong! #origami #wildflowers #foxandcubs #feralfolding #pilosellaaurantiaca https://www.instagram.com/p/B0vCyRqB-rb/?igshid=hqbbg3a225oy

#Hawkweeds are my nemesis. Not that I don't enjoy admiring the photogenic #orangehawkweed or #foxandcubs, or even the yellow #meadowhawkweed, but while I have greatly reduced all of the other weeds on my property, these continue to spread. I pop the heads off after the photo op, but it's that nasty habit of aggressive rhizomatous spreading that I can't keep up with. Only the #whiteflowerhawkweed in this series is native. #hieraciumaurantiacum #hieraciumcaespitosum #hiearaciumalbiflorum #hieracium https://www.instagram.com/p/CCmm2ULAb1V/?igshid=1dq6q79bvyjn2

It has been me against the weeds today. A part if me Might be slightly disappointed if I ever successfully eradicate the #orangehawkweed, because it IS so photogenic. But I think unlikely, so it is still off with their heads after the photo. #heiraciumaurantiacum #foxandcubs #pilosellaaurantiaca
