I was about half done labeling plants (outdoors) for this weekend's native plant sale, when it began to pour. And what a glorious rain it is! Needless to say I guess I'll finish labeling everyone in the morning at the shop! We're very thankful for this much-needed rain!

Public service announcement! Things are beginning to bloom in area road ditches. Did you know that these are two VERY different plant species? The first, is Golden Alexanders; a harmless native perennial that hosts Swallowtail Caterpillars. The second, is Wild Parsnip (which also hosts Swallowtail Caterpillars), but is considered an invasive noxious w**d. Wild Parsnip will leave chemical burns (activated by sunlight) on exposed skin that comes in contact with oils from the plant. Golden Alexanders is in full bloom right now! Wild Parsnips are just beginning to elongate and a few of the earliest are beginning to develop florets.

We were finally able to snap a photo of the beautiful Indigo Bunting that's been visiting the feeding setup that we created at Niagara Cave! Thanks for sharing this photo Jenny! Hoping your visitors to the Cave this weekend enjoy the multitude of colorful birds you've begun to attract!

Seed & Stone is open today from 10am-4pm. We'd love to have you stop in!

Yesterday we noted the first calls of the Dickcissel out in the prairie. They have become regulars here each season. Here's an example of their call; though ours have a slight variation of this call.
