Coneflowers a Hi!
The growing collection of wildflowers has been a great draw for wildlife, especially birds. And as these flowers propagate they are providing a rich stock of native seed for birds like the American Goldfinches. These flowers are in seed mode now and I enjoyed the sight of goldfinches working the Purple Coneflowers hard this afternoon. That's what they are there for! And I expect the finches to spread the seed which is an added bonus. We need more wildflowers in our area. Everyone won today. And I hope to install even more natives this fall to enjoy next year.
