Our pastor preached on this last night….."What are you thinking?" was the sermon title. It was a good reminder for me to focus on the positives. Sometimes working on preparedness can put me into a negative frame of mind, which is not good!
Yes… totally.
Gorgeous, can't wait to start my garden! -Steph-o

This was the fist spring that I planted tithonia rotundifolia seeds . . . and quickly learned that these are a must have in my garden. True butterfly magnets!
Beautiful pictures.

My goodness… aren't they something? At one point I counted seven zebra longwings on seven separate blooms. All on one plant. They're incredible.
Gorgeous!! I planted mine in the middle of the forest garden to shade some tender perennial herbs from the summer sun. It's working well, plus the gorgeous blooms, plus the dried heads are good for chickens, PLUS they'll be a great addition to my compost pile at the end of the season. Great suggestion.
They're a wonderful plant… I can't believe how attractive they are to the butterflies. Good idea putting them on the edge of the herbs. They'll likely self-seed there again – mine have.
