I am so drawn to prairie style plantings, and it seems that public parks are "catching on" to a more native style. Love it!

It's great to see all the natives. I was sniffing Echinacea at the nursery and was surprised to find many had a delightful fragrance, which gives them more appeal to me.

Several of us here in Norfolk have seen a noticeable decrease in the number of butterflies this year, and are not sure what might be the cause. However, dragonflies are in unusual abundance.
