The pollinators already attracted to the other native flowers I have took no time at all to explore the new arrivals. I've never seen this one before:
Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.
Just the back yard!? Nah, I want the front and side yards landscaped in natives too.

Fitting Right In
I planted all of the new additions except the queen of the prairie which I think needs more moisture than the site I'd picked for it will provide. Once established, I will try to grow some in, perhaps, less than the ideal site, but I'd rather wait until I have more, and plant them in the spring or fall not the heat of summer.
