SO hard to pick a favorite because every one of them has something it offers to the whole ecosystem. For some reason, though, I really really love Grey headed coneflower (Ratibida pinnata) for the dancey, droopy yellow flowers.
Thanks for walking through that Tyler. I love to see people sharing how to germinate native plants. I haven't looked at your catalog of videos yet but I'd love to see how you would collect seeds, keep them and then germinate as well. We need more propagation details for people collecting native seeds in their area.
You just inspired me to plant the California native seeds that I bought last year. I have sky lupine, hemophilia, clarkia, and many others. I have a seed addiction I know. I will sow them inside in pots and also sow directly outside in the ground.
My list of 100+ native species would post correctly in a comment, so I included it in the description. Do you have any favorite native plants?

I’ll add that to my list of future videos for the summer when I can show hands on how to collect seeds!
