You're right, I am more than a little weird and a bit awkward. No, I don't fit in and most people don't understand me. But at least I'm being real and I think the world needs more people who are brave enough to be real.

Coyote brush or bush, Baccharis pilularis consanguinea, is one of the hardiest native plants you’ll find in the East Bay hills. It’s known as a “secondary pioneer plant,” because when other native vegetation is removed, it’s one of the first natives to return to the area. It’s also a nectar-giving plant, which attracts all kinds of bugs, including ants, wasps, butterflies, and regular flies, too.
Coyote brush is dioecious, which means it produces male and female flowers on separate plants. The flowers shown above, with yellow flowers, are male; the flowers with white, brush-like flowers are female.

Bees sure love visiting St. John's wort flowers. This native shrub is currently in bloom in the Brushwood garden. A great choice if you are looking for wildlife-friendly plants for your yard. #brushwoodgarden #ryersonwoods #stjohnswort #yellowflower #nativebees #nativeshrub #nativeplants #busybee (at Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods)
