This is it for the time being!

Orange Coneflower

Rough Blazing Star (soon to bloom!)

Shrubby St. John's Wart (with encroaching Coneflower)

Meadow Rue

Well, I've only been at this for a year and now I am moving on due to the realization that I've made poor choices on the personal front. Next Friday I'm moving to an apartment but hope to be back to gardening adventures next Spring. In the meantime, I am so thrilled that the plants have done so well and the birds are enjoying them. Goldfinches feeding on the Ohio Horsemint seeds and House Finches on the Meadow Rue. The Rough Blazing Star has spread a lot and the Coneflowers that I thought didn't make it are blooming as we speak.

I am grateful for the experiences of the past year and look forward to the time that I can use these learning experiences to create a new and better garden in the future. And as long as the original Birdscapes Garden exists, the birds will be grateful as well!
