Flowers that grow in both Ukraine and Massachusetts

227 Upvotes

We have new neighbors who are Ukrainian and I thought it might be nice to plant some flowers or flowering shrubs that grow there over here in our yard so they can look over and maybe see something of their country.

Anybody know of Ukrainian varietals that will grow here?

Driving 2 hours from home and saw two of these. They almost look like a rose but I’m pretty sure they are not

What is this jelly stuff that appeared seemingly overnight on our trees?

1.9k Upvotes

These are juniper trees. For context we had warm weather and then a ton of rain and then abrupt cold weather in the span of a week. Today, a cold weather day, this gelatinous orange stuff is all over the trees. What is happening??

Since I saw many fellow dandelion lovers on this sub i thought you would all fancy a pic of my dandelion that lives in the same pot as my olive tree for almost 10 years now.

Do I just remove this whole plant

I swear this was not here yesterday and just noticed right now while watering. I looked it up but hoping someone can confirm that this is rust fungus? What in the world! Really thought this plant was thriving. Should I just trash the whole thing out of my raised garden bed?

Novice gardener here, why are these so expensive?

At Home Depot, they look super easy to make, this is cedar, not sure what the material cost would be but this seems ridiculous.

Late winter blooming shade loving, long lasting flowers that rabbits and deer avoid. Dare I call it a perfect plant?

These were the only lobularia to survive the winter. They seem to be digging the spring.

Spent 30$ on soil and the bricks were free! The lower bed has a mix of stones with varying degrees, but ended up making it work with 2 to spare.

How did I do? My wife is pleased.

We very recently bought this house and I’m now getting around to cleaning up the yard. Anybody know what plant is growing up this trellis? I included a picture of what I think is a seed pod at the end which could help with ID.

I’m not sure if it is alive, the branches are dry and snap easily and there are no buds or signs of life on it.

Came back home from living abroad for several years. All my trees are not only alive but thriving! Mangos, Mandarines, avocados and “Guanabana”, sorry I don’t know the name in English.

I recently inherited a house with a big garden, but I’m not an experienced gardener myself. What would you plant in or on this archway with pots? I’m Zone 8a.
