Unplanted Ditch Beauty

September 15, 2020

Walk in the forest turned into collecting September beauties from the roadside and the ditch. Hope you’ll enjoy these common un-planted beauties.

Wabi-sabi cast iron flower container bought from an architectural salvage in California years ago.

Here is a list of all the NATIVE plant components of this arrangement. 

Physostegia virginiana (obedience plant), Lobelia siphilitica (great blue lobelia), Sabatia angularis (rose gentian), Cirsium discolor (pasture thistle), Conoclinium coelestinum (wild blue ageratum), Symphyotrichum laeve (wild michaelmas aster)
