When the middle of your Lavender diesIn the Garden with Amy2023-07-21 | Why is it that Lavender can look amazing for years and then one year it just...doesn't? Lavender everywhere in Spokane looked atrocious this spring and I have a theory as to why. I'll also show you what to do about it.

Name classification - the stuff that would be pretty boring in a video: Botanists have shuffled this plant primarily between three names — Epilobium, Chamerion, and now Chamaenerion — as DNA work has clarified its family tree, with the current accepted name settling on Chamaenerion angustifolium. The most recent change happened in 2018 according to iNaturalist: inaturalist.org/taxon_changes?taxon_id=146845 Beyond that, I was only able to find more dates and history on "Grokipedia" which is hardly a credible source, so I'm not even going to site it. However, I was able to follow some bread crumbs to this website which has even more names the plant has gone by, despite lacking in details beyond that list: catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/7NN3X
Frustratingly, a search of "Epilobium angustifolium" lead to a surprizing number of websites that still use this name, including NCSU and KEW which is a source I usually trust: https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/epilobium-angustifolium/ powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:92411-2
This honestly seems like there is still disagreement among the scientific community about which genus it belongs in. I'm glad I didn't try to put this info in the video as it feels like the more I read, the deeper this rabbit hole goes, and it's not something that the average gardener needs to know so I really don't want to spend more time on it now, but if I learn more I'll update this description. - Amy Sept 25, 2026

Noxious or Garden Perennial?In the Garden with Amy2026-08-28 | Regarding the sound in this video - I filmed this when I was sick this spring. That cold lasted a ridiculously long time, I had already been sick for weeks and had no idea how much longer it would last so I filmed when the flowers were at their peak, but I sounded pretty terrible. It turned out that was the right move, I had several weeks to go before I finally got over that stupid cold, but I'm still bummed about how I sounded in this video.

At the time having a fire in our state was an anomaly. Concerning, unusual, the smoke was novel, more of an inconvenience than anything else.
