Throwback to 2023 when I grew #tithonia. I love it & so do the monarchs, but it takes SO long to bloom. Maybe I'll try to start some in March. Native to the southwest US & Mexico so I call it a #nativeannual here. #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #nectarplant #ecoregion50ae #biodiversityconservation
I always have a lot of tithonia in the yard. It’s a critical late season pollinator plant. With drastically accelerated climate change, my zone has changed. My front yard bakes, so I have to garden for 7a to 8. #Lantana is another late season nectar plant. #tithonia #naturalizedyard #gardening
Hello my pretty lil pollinator friend! I grew these just for you. Happy snacking on your journey.

I first posted a pic of these beautiful #tithonia a month ago. Mid Sept & they're still going strong.
So bright & cheerful 😊

Delighted we have so many monarchs in the #garden this year. They love the #tithonia. Worked hard to create a pollinator garden. I think they like it.

If you love Monarchs (& bees & hummingbirds & other butterflies), plant Mexican Sunflower / Tithonia!
Literally had tears in my eyes today as so many flitted & danced around me.

Tithonia (aka Mexican Sunflower) is definitely my rookie plant of the year.
It's won a yearly spot in my garden for life.
Grows HUGE with tons of flowers and all the pollinators just adore it.

After a pretty perfect weather week, where it mainly rained over night and temperatures are back around the low 20’s, the garden & its owner are looking much happier 😀💕🧡💕💛
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend 🪴

It’s a moment to take orange back to its more lovely expressions / reddish orange / marigold / exploding in the sun / a protest towards kings who only pause to shape history as the good ‘ole days.
