Year 2 of the “replace lawn with native paradise” journey

(Denver, CO). So after getting started last year, I really aimed to start getting this truly “filled in.” It doesn’t look like much yet since the plants are all very small.

Here’s what I added this year: Pale Purple Coneflower x 6, Butterfly Weed x 4, Golden Alexander x 3, Hairy Beardtongue x 4, Purple Prairie Clover x 4, Little Bluestem x 5 — these join 2 Blue Columbines, 2 Catmints (not native I know), 2 Colorado Tansy Asters, 1 Black-eyed Susan and a Candytuft (no native).

I can’t wait to watch it all grow!
