Orange Coneflower
Rough Blazing Star (soon to bloom!)
Shrubby St. John's Wart (with encroaching Coneflower)
Meadow RueWell, 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!

Your coneflowers look wonderful..I'm sorry the way things turned out..
The coneflowers were a huge surprise! The birds will love them this Fall when they turn out their seeds. And all the other plants will also be beneficial to the birds. So I won't be around to tend to the plants, but at least I've done something beneficial that will last a year or two at a minimum.
And I will continue Birdscapes sometime in the not too distant future! It's in my heart and soul.
