Remember me saying that I saw swallowtail caterpillars on my parsley? Well, they seem to be thriving! And this is just a few of them. I counted 20 yesterday! #bloomscrolling #butterflies #pollinatorgardening

When I moved here, the first summer the yard was full of clover and the scent of its flowers filled the air. My geese pick the flowers off and mow it short, so one gardening goal was to return areas of clover to the property
Success

#PollinatorGardening Attract more pollinators with plants with long blooming cycles like starry rosinweed (Silphium asteriscus). It's a beautiful, tall, long-lived, drought tolerant, easy-to-care-for wildflower. It’s native from TX – NY & FL.

#PollinatorGardening Stokes' aster (Stokesia laevis) is a great choice to plant for the pollinators in North Florida & SE states where it’s native. The native bees love it. The FNPS plant profile has details & a link to native plant vendors that have it in stock. www.fnps.org/plant/stokes...
#PollinatorGardening #PlantMoreNatives This graphic by Nancy Seiler provides some great ideas for building pollinator gardens, which include:
- A wide variety of native flowering plants
- Locations for am & pm sun
- A selection of larval food plants
- Some thick vegetation nearby for shelter

Buds are everywhere in the yard. Not like this of course, this is from last fall. Very happy for a new season. #photography #bud #macrophotography #flowers #yellowflower #nature #garden #gardening #lastfall #pollinatorgardening

Backyard micro-prairie burn. Between wind and rain, we're running late in the season. It doesn't look like much now, either, but oh does this baby green up after this as temps continue to warm.

Busy bee from last fall, working hard in my pollinator garden. So happy to help bee! Get in there! #photography #sunflower #bee #pollinator #garden #gardening #pollinatorgardening #nature #mindfulness
Back in the pink, with a twisty stem. So cool, and some pollin around. I had so much fun in the garden last year. Can't wait for this year. #photography #macrophotography #nature #pinkflower #stem #pollinatorgardening #garden
It's so soft and fluffy! I hope your day goes that way. #macrophotography #photography📷 #flower #nature #mindful #pollinatorgardening

I don’t know when it happened, but it surely did happen- I garden for insects now. I’m imagining the satisfaction of this bumblebee, tucked into a native jewelweed blossom that’s juuuuust the right fit.

I planted seeds that were labeled as wild bergamot but this cultivar is what grew. It still attracts many pollinators, like this clearwing hummingbird moth, and adds some beautiful color

Simply adding a few native perennial nectar plants will attract pollinators to your yard. These purple coneflowers are a favorite of the eastern tiger swallowtail
