#hostplant for the buckeye butterfly

In situ by the fence on the main flowerbed #midwesternnative #beemagnet

This arrived at the office today; several of these disappeared when I planted them in the swamp so I'm going to try this one in the flowerbed🤞🤞🤞 #midwesternnative #beemagnet

So many other fragrant flowers all around it, but the insects ignored them all because this one is blooming... #wildlifewednesday #exoskeletal #midwesternnative

This photo catches just a faint glimmer of the sapphire-blue iridescence on the Mud Dauber's wings... #exoskeletal #wildlifewednesday

Aaaaggghhhhh 🏃‍♀️

It was this #intimidating #midwesternnative planted by the main doors at the post office that awakened me to the way a local plant can be a #beemagnet

Slightly better shot of the single shoot I have thus far #swamptastic #midwesternnative #beemagnet #kermitarms

I have 3 of these in the Rhombus of Hope. They like constant moisture and are happy in swampy conditions like these. #midwesternnative #beemagnet #swamptastic
