It's aster time! I have never seen so many monarchs, bumble bees and other pollinators in my yard. I had 6 monarchs on my New England aster at one time! Maybe they are on their migration. Anyway, shows how important late season natives are. 🌱 #nativeplants, #pollinators

Same. Had the swamps at my last house and there were so many. Can't get the swamps to grow in my new, drier, yard.

Finally, I got a monarch cat on common milkweed. First time in 3 years. 🌱 #nativeplants #pollinators #pixel7pro

Same. I just sewed a top and avoided my hubs, the Hawkeye fan.

Sadly, it's mine. Got a red cast at KU med, put on by a Kstate tech with my embellishments.

A buckeye butterfly feeds on my late season liatris. I can't remember what I planted, but I think it's aspera. 🌱 #nativeplants

Inter-species kerfuffle: behind the eastern tiger swallowtail is a monarch battling for the same zinnia. After a brief dust up in the air, they took turns feeding on the flower. 🌱#pollinators

A fritillary of some kind feeds on my Red Whisker Clammyweed, Polanisia dodecandra, on a hot Kansas day. This is my first time planting clammyweed. It's an annual but I have the feeling I'll be seeing it for years to come. 🌱 #nativeplants #pollinators

Cool! We just finished One of Ours which I liked better than I thought I would. Was especially interested after visiting the WWI museum in KC.

Love Willa Cather. A couple of former co-workers and I have a little Willa book club. We also visited her home site in Red Cloud, NE.

Nice! The birds are already eating the seeds of some of mine. That's the kind of wildlife I want to attract.

Looks like a baby? How can something so little be so destructive!

So sorry. I only have any because I used (green) chicken wire to protect them. The green wire makes it look a little less stupid.

E. angustifolia, narrow leaf CF, is the best for my area- hotter and dryer and they're shorter so they fit in an urban landscape better. I first saw these in the Loess Hills north of Council Bluffs, IA.

Purple coneflowers are my favorite. Here are 2 of the 4 species I have: Echinacea pallida -pale PCF - and Echinacea paradoxa - yellow coneflower. This year I have successfully saved most of my PCFs from the ravenous groundhog. 😄 #nativeplants🌱
