I just googled Phacelia and holy moly! That looks amazing! Yeah, where I'm at, the miner's lettuce really only grows in partially shady low spots down here, the kind of stuff that's usually overtaken with stinging nettle, sow thistle, and fescue. It's much more common to see it in damp, low lying, shady areas in the hills at my latitude.
This is really great stuff! You know, take it or leave it, I run a Lemmy community for California native plants at https://lemm.ee/c/ca_native_plants (I forget the right way to link a community on Lemmy, sorry). I'd really appreciate it if you'd indulge me with some pictures and updates there! I plan on sharing my own progress as things get out of the seedling stage.
Cool! I just subscribed. I’m not really too fussed about aesthetics so my back yard where I grow this stuff is a total mess that I’d be a bit embarrassed to share but I’ll think about it. Maybe if I get any flowers this spring. Or I could share some of the native plants I see around my neighborhood in other spaces.
Glad to hear it! That's all welcome!
