Oh Erigeron! One of my favourites, just germinates all over the place and happily flowers her socks off for months - what's not to love?! This little one took up residence in a crack in the patio a few years ago and is loving life! 😍🌸

Veronica spicata "Red Fox" - Spike Speedwell
Asclepias tuberosa - Butterfly Weed (milkweed)

I manage what is technically a pollinator garden in my area, but everyone calls it "The Butterfly Garden." In addition to flora chosen to reflect our status as a Monarch Waystation, we are committed to native plant selections that encourage ALL butterflies and moths (we have 200+ species in our area), bees and other beneficial insects, and of course, birds.

This photo shows some of our Red Fox Veronica with Butterfly Weed in the background. Can you spot the bee?

Rudbeckia triloba (Brown-eyed Susans)

I started these Brown-eyed Susans from seed back in the mid-twenty-teens, and they've self-seeded every year since. I LOVE them - they are such happy flowers - and pollinators adore them too.

This photo is from late-July and we are now at the end of November, so these flowers are done for the season. They are, however, still providing food and shelter for birds. Goldfinches and sparrows, in particular, flock to the dried seedheads.

Passiflora Incarnata - Purple Passionflower aka Maypop

The Purple Passionflower resembles a plant from Hogwarts, and the Latin name, Passiflora Incarnata, sounds like a spell. In addition to being covered with otherworldly blooms that draw butterflies, bees and hummingbirds, the perennial vine produces delicious fruits the size of small owl’s eggs.

I started my passionflowers from seed in 2016. They were floriferous and fruitful through November 2020, but didn’t re-emerge as expected in the Spring of 2021. All that remained was the photo in this post.

Seasons passed with no sign of the vine, so I was thrilled to discover the familiar tri-lobed leaves climbing my fence again in July of 2022. My passionflower had sprung to life after 20 months of dormancy.

Renneverate!

Nature is magic!

My feeble try at an effective

I stare at the night sky in awe, I stare at my garden in awe, I try to create music that reflects my awe of all that is around us. Fatherhood at 45 years old has introduced me to my best pal and muse (he’s 9, I’m sorry, 9-and-a-half now), and has me more in love with his mom, my wife of a quarter-century, than ever.
