Daisies, zinnias and cones can be used to fill in some of the gaps. I'll probably end up with some of those until I can find enough wildflowers to go from Spring through Fall.

Which reminds me - I need to make a trip down to the Wildlife Refuge to see if the cleome has set any seed yet. Gotta have some of them in the meadow! And there are a couple of maypops there to be checked on as well. The Rangers all know me and let me do my thing. I never did up plants - just collect some, not all, of the seed from the plants I want to grow here. There are a couple of Rangers who will actually help me gather seeds!

I don't see this fellow too often, but always a welcome sight.
