Planting a variety of local wild flowers that bloom at different times over summer is the best assistance people can offer the little creatures. Best regards, =3


I actually plant local wildflowers all around the public paths near me, those get much better sunlight than my own garden. I've managed to plant so many golden poppies now that I frequently see strangers stopping to photograph them, I feel so happy when I see it. I had a great patch of lupines going too but some sort of aphid got loose in the thick patch and killed them all. I was so sad.

I try to plant other types of flowers in my own garden, it's just that I have 1000's of fleabane and like 200 others, my little corner seems to be perfect for fleabane to thrive.
