Purple Coneflower

Butterfly Garden

My mullien and milkweed are both close to six foot tall in height. I'm amazed as I transplanted them from the neighbors yard to mine this spring - right before the flooding began. I really didn't expect them, or anything else in my garden, to survive.

I've been working on expanding my butterfly garden with more natives. Currently I have milkweed - the red variety, purple coneflower, mullien, phlox, bellflower, and bee balm.

Photographed a bunch of native prairie plants while out picking berries this evening, some are greatly inspiring to say the least!
