Wild Wild Woods: pollinator magnets

Agastache seed heads stood through winter at the edge of the wild wild woods (see post 2/3/17). Now, with warming soil, the new sprouts are coming up to bloom another season.

These fragrant showy blossoms are vital to my pollinator garden.

Also called Hyssop or Hummingbird Mint . . . these are "Honey Bee Blue".

About this blog "Wild Wild Woods"

Through 2018, the posts on "wild wild woods" were photos taken in my bird garden and a set-aside strip of land that was the old fence row when the suburban lots in my neighborhood were farmed land. That wooded area sheltered a variety of plants and wildlife among the trees, understory, and a brushpile.

Now, my windows look out on a pond.

My new location is another former farm field that became a neighborhood. Fortunately, the wetland was preserved. It includes a pond surrounded by wildflowers, grasses, reeds, and a few trees.

I am pleased to observe and enjoy these places for birds, critters, and plants of central Minnesota.
