Echineacea blooms attract butterflies! #naturephotography

 

To attract birds and butterflies we added six more pink native Echinacea to our front yard garden. The bunnies trimmed a few for us; but, left us a few with buds. One just started blooming! We've been enjoying the butterflies that Echinacea attracts.

Shown above was a female Monarch visitor yesterday. This morning we spotted an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail on that particular bloom. Before the season is over we will surely see bright yellow goldfinches too; they also love Echineacea pupurea coneflowers.

Happy Gardening!
