Nearly 300 Oklahoma wildflowers including Swamp Milkweed (A. incarnata) for those wet areas, Foxglove Beardtongue (P. digitalis), Sawtooth Sunflower (H. grosseserratus), Buttonbush (C. occidentalis), Beebalm (M. fistulosa), and others were planted in TAP’s first large planting of the year! Across the street from the Pawnee Health Center and next to an actively used walking trail, this large field offers an excellent opportunity for restoration with high visibility. We look forward to returning to this site and getting more plants in the ground!

We have plenty of native Oklahoma wildflowers who need good homes, so become a member today and contact us at coordinator@tribalallianceforpollinators.com for more information about availability!
