Stunningly beautiful and bees, every where! Your daylilies are lovely, ours are long gone; so it's nice to see them again. gail We were Estes Park area and then RMNP~Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549399994454651102.post-15922537456246648062010-08-17T20:14:56.862-06:002010-08-17T20:14:56.862-06:00Kathy, I'm so glad you joined in GBBD!

I actually have many plants that are not "alien" in my gardens, including the coneflowers and red birds that are in the first couple of pictures. Since this post was on Bloom Day, I have pictures of what's blooming now. I do plant mostly for pollinators and birds, which sometimes includes plants not native to my immediate area.Kathy Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711676222022261647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549399994454651102.post-55264120021809457682010-08-16T22:16:19.449-06:002010-08-16T22:16:19.449-06:00I am surprised to see mostly alien plant species f...I am surprised to see mostly alien plant species from your garden. Do you not plant any native plants that are best for nourishing the most birds, bees and other critters?SRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363439970457747681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549399994454651102.post-7171104560534589652010-08-16T21:11:01.180-06:002010-08-16T21:11:01.180-06:00Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

Too cold or too wet?<br /><br />Birdwoman and Carole ~ Red Bird in a Tree (Scrophularia macranta)is a southwestern wildflower that is also a Plant Select Flower. You can read more here: http://www.plantselect.org/plant_details.php?plant_number=94. I think the East Coast has too much water for it's liking though.<br /><br />KathyKathy Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711676222022261647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549399994454651102.post-11202956065867638582010-08-16T19:55:22.941-06:002010-08-16T19:55:22.941-06:00Wow, those Red Birds in a Tree are Beeeyoootiful! ...Wow, those Red Birds in a Tree are Beeeyoootiful!
