#inmygarden

June 16, 2026

I planted an Alaska wildflower garden in front of the cabin, partly for myself and partly so Outside visitors could see what a hike along the Resurrection Trail in June looks like without having to take the hike. Rita Jo Schultz warned me the plants would migrate and she wasn’t kidding.

The starflowers are popping up everywhere, the purple primrose finally bloomed, the Aleutian speedwell is as ever maintaining, and this interloping columbine front and center looks gorgeous enough that I’m letting it stay even if it isn’t a native plant.
The shooting stars never fail.
The wild geranium (aka cranesbill) are late
but promising an explosion of blooms.

And of course the traditional Alaska lawn art.

  1. Everything is looking gorgeous! My Columbine decided to not grow much or have even on small bloom so far because of our non winter in Colorado. I love the idea of an Alaskan themed flower garden. 3 moose, wow!.

  2. We had a really early spring, and NO snowpack at all this year. We had some wildflowers but not as many as we have in the past. Yours are beautiful.
