This news has been overwhelming.
But at least I am feeding the bees.
Little victories.

The beautiful orange and black Monarch Butterfly is nectaring with wings spread on a brilliant orange Mexican Sunflower highlighted and enhanced by the sunshine on this summer's day. Thanks to the buyer in Ingersoll, ON for your purchase of a framed print!

My garden hopes this year are pinned on Tithonia (Mexican sunflower), which seems to be a large and robust plant with orange daisy-like flowers. It is apparently drought-resistant and something deer donβt like to eat, so yay! That is exactly what I need.
