Like a field of dreams... if you plant it they will come...
If you provide food they will seemingly appear from nowhere. Even when I was living in the heart of the concrete jungle in Los Angeles, surrounded by street after street of apartment buildings with no yards. I would put out container plantings in my little concrete patio and every year I could enjoy the butterflies and humming birds as they came to feast. Back yard sanctuaries for these beautiful creatures can and do make a difference. Congratulations on enjoying your first of what I hope will be many visitors. Keep that camera handy!

Apparently so - even uninvited, unexpected, they will come. The strangest part is, I had been planning all summer to rip out that coneflower... Yes, I hope, now that she or he tells the family, they'll ALL come!!! x, Carrie
