It's fascinating to see plants that grow in different places. Love the white prairie clover (we have the little round Dutch clover here). Summer!

I will have to look up the Dutch clover! It looks like white (dalea candida) and purple prairie clover (dalea purpurea) is native to NS. But the white prairie clover is listed as 'extirpated' which is such a sad word. Like most of the prairie plants here, they got wiped out in favor of crops and just aren't around...unless you plant them! Maybe some seeds are en route? https://data.canadensys.net/vascan/name/Dalea%20purpurea

Whoa, what? Colonizer jerks. But a bigger WHAT? Seeds? EEEEE!

Lemme know if I can return the seed favour! Although most of what thrives in my seriously crappy (backfill) soil is oregano, campanula, and spirea. Not prairie. But I recently learned oregano is a good pest repellent b/c of its scent.
