Bees and the wasps love the goldenrod. Good summer blooms (cut down before it seeds or you will get thousands of babies).

Finally got outside to survey the yard! The Spicebush Swallowtails *love* the Mexican Tithonia (sidenote: those plants get 10 ft tall! Not 6 like the packet said. Definitely prune when small.) 🦋🌸 #butterfly

I went to Texas to see my friend @revvyonmain.bsky.social in person for the first time!

I saw a squirrel eating maple tree seeds and it never occurred to me that they would eat them. #nature 🐿
