More to plant, and who it feeds
August 4, 2026
Added
- A lot more to plant in the Pacific Northwest. The list grew from 44 plants to 58, and deliberately not with more trees: sedges and a rush for wet ground, two more ferns, stonecrop and buckwheat for a dry sunny edge, trailing blackberry, Indian plum.
- Early blue violet, and why it matters. Also new to the Northwest, and the only thing a fritillary caterpillar will eat — but it hatches in late summer and doesn't feed until April, so the patch has to still be there next spring.
- Atlantic France doubled, from 23 plants to 46. Heather, broom, bramble, bird's-foot trefoil, red clover, hop, aspen, bilberry, wych elm, wild pear, beech and more. Several flower in August, September and October — which is when the old list ran out of flowers.
- The app now says who eats what, all over Europe. Atlantic France named an animal for five of its plants; it now names them for 43 of 46. Look at alder buckthorn: a brimstone caterpillar can eat it and nothing else.
- And in the Northwest too. Douglas-fir, western hemlock and western redcedar now name the crossbills and siskins that live off their cones. Twenty-two new animals joined the wildlife pages in all.
