Summer in the garden.

Hibiscus a summertime delight. Summertime is a very active time in the garden with butterfly bushes and hibiscus overflowing everywhere. In my small garden yesterday I counted over 40 butterflies. Growing the right plants to attract wildlife is easier than you may think. Provide water and food and watch your garden attract all kinds of insects and birds. This summer we had more nesting birds than ever before. The usual robins and cardinals have a new neighbor, a family of orioles. So far too fast to sit for a picture.
