Butterfly bush, goldenrod & Golden bluebeard

Looks wonderful, a great place for the birds and the bees!

Also a ton of butterflys this year!!

Great combination.. Have you seen many hummingbirds this year, GZ?

Not too many this year, Lori! I had one consistant female and a couple of drop-ins - nothing like last year.

I asked because we haven't had as many this year as last.
They love the Monarda and this year it even attracted the hummingbird moth but not many hummers...usually we enjoy their air acrobatics and serious "dog fights" if a stranger was to show up at the wrong time! I suppose all populations have their peaks and troughs... we are moving in December so my plants will have a tough time of it but I'm taking a big pot of Monarda for the hummers.
