From now on, barring acts of God, general outcry, or boredom, I think I shall establish a little thing called Treasury Wednesday. I've found a great tool for treasury posting, and I love sharing these things, and I spend way way too much time making them, so why not?
This one is all about spring ephemerals.
'Spring Ephemerals' by tangopig
Spring ephemerals -- like dwarf vernal irises, liverleaf hepatica, trillium, some anemones and others, depending on your area -- are the first food source for bees in the spring, but are often threatened by invasive non-native plant species. Planting them in gardens may be a key to saving our honeybee population. Flowers and early insects in shades of delicate pink, purple and blue!

It seemed like a good one to start the tradition with this treasury, since this is about when the ephemerals should be starting to bloom (though I made it in January ... and mine still aren't showing much, which according to the packaging may be the case until year 2 ... but more on the garden later).
The color scheme is all bi pride colors with a dash of green. Because, y'know, why not? Bisexuality is, sadly, often attacked by both the gay and straight communities; like transpeople, bisexuals are thought by one side to be promiscuous and confused and by the other to be promiscuous, confused and mucking up the "True Gay Cause." Next time you're on a cruise ship or at a conference which has a "friends of Dorothy" meetup listed someplace -- "friends of Dorothy" is code for "queers gather here" -- look to see if there's a "friends of friends of Dorothy" listing somewhere nearby. If so, that's where all the transgendered, genderqueer, bisexual, asexual and pansexual people will be hanging out -- and sometimes, talking about how sad and frustrating it is that outside-the-box gender-sexualities are so "boxed."
This concludes your PSA social justice lesson for the month. Enjoy the pretty flowers!
Oh, and on a happier note, there's more about spring ephemerals here.
