I think we need a cute treefrog butt amidst flowers🐸🌸.... it's going to be below zero for a few days.
Also, today I applied for my yard to be a native Wild Ones habitat.

What well-loved milkweed looks like at the end of the season. But man, it made some serious pollinators, critters and tree frogs so happy!
Thank you to all my milkweed: syriaca, incarnata, exaltata, & tuberosa🌸 You all work so hard to feed our ecosystem.

My 30 x 5 garden bed has over 60 native plants in it, about 40 different species #biodiversityconservation
My hubs is obsessed with growing tomatoes like I'm obsessed with native plants. We both use tomato cages to support our babies. When I didn't get my common milkers caged in time and asked for ideas on propping them up, he said, "We'll use tomatoes!"🥰

Common milkweed buds in the late evening sun. If you plant it, they will come. #milkweedformonarchs #nativeplants #asclepiassyriaca #budscrolling #nature #gardening 🌱 #elsasallnativeyard
Firework like light pink flowers with fuschia dots on the petals with an orange black and white monarch butterfly on it. There is leaf litter on the ground and greenery surrounding
First Monarch friend of the season on my Monarda bradburiana. Saw it stop on a few of my #asclepiassyriaca
I have 4/14 native to my state. my #milkweed brings all the #monarchs to the yard.
Teeny weeny skippers on common milkweed from a walk around the block this past summer. Aren't milkweed blossoms just the coolest little architectural pieces?

When I had over 40 milkweed plants in my yard back in the KY, I had so many wonderful insects and butterflies show up for the blooms🌱🌸 On my way back to that amount up here... just give me a few more years!
