So there is one final area that needs to be tweaked and turned into a really nice FLOWER garden. We call it the City Park. Somehow one of us got it into our little heads that it would be a perfect place for a Native Plant Garden for the flowers that growing Ohio. I took a class on that topic a few months ago from the Cincinnati Nature Center. So off we go across town and out a little dirt road to Keystone Flora.
5045 Wooden Shoe Hollow
Cincinnati, OH
When we drove up I knew I was going to love it just by the looks of the place, and how about that road name.
Pouring the rain.
If you zoom in your can see Steve, the owner. Nice, very knowledgeable man. I liked his hat. He even went inside to get me an umbrella.
It finally stopped raining and we got to walk the grounds and listen to Steve tell us interesting facts about each and every plant. It was amazing. He would say the Latin name and Mark would say the common name. Mark should be a Master Gardener, seriously.
I want to say that this is a grey headed coneflower.
Dutchman's Pipe
Poppy
And here is the start of the Native Plant City Park!
We got...

Blazing star Spicata

Dutchman's Pipe
Gray headed coneflowers
Great Blue Lobelia
Lace leaf Coreopsis
Milkweed butterfly
Orange coneflower
GreatBlue Lobelia
Rose Mallow

I have been researching and there are 8 pages of Native Plants. We have some in the yard already that will be transplanted as soon as we get a fence up so the three plant smasher/root digger-uppers can't get to them.
