I’ve gardened with native plants for about 5 years now and find it so rewarding! One of my favorite things to do is make seasonal bouquets from my garden — typically with flowers that flopped due to heavy rains or plants that are overhanging walkways. Everything in these arrangements is native to my area (SWPA, zone 6B) except the lilac — one of a handful of non-natives I chose to keep when I made the switch.
Plants pictured are:
Aquilegia canadensis (red columbine)
Baptisia australis (blue false indigo)
Anemone canadensis (Canada anemone)
Zizia aurea (golden Alexander)
Erigeron philadelphicus (Philadelphia fleabane)
I also threw in a bit of Pycnanthemum virginianum (Virginia mountain mint) for its texture and scent and Carex bicknellii (copper-shouldered oval sedge).
I’d love to see your combinations and hear about natives you find to work well as cut flowers!
