It doesn't get much prettier than this red-spotted purple butterfly (Limenitis arthemis) in our black raspberry patch. #butterflies #nativeplants #Illinois #nature #photography #wildlifephotography

To further enrich local #Wildlife #Habitat, we managed to drag ourselves away from #Summer frivolities long enough to plant out a few more #Australian #Natives.
On the theme of #Flowers, we’ve adopted our winged friends’ philosophy: there’s no such thing as too much colour!

We live under the flight path of wildlife traveling between native forests in #CoastalNSW. At midsummer, these creatures are all very busy feeding on, pollinating, propagating (through excreting seeds), and regenerating not only the great native forests, but many private gardens.
Why not give your local native birds and wildlife a gift for #2024 by planning now to plant edible native flowers, shrubs and trees wherever you live. Or find a Bush Regeneration group to work with on local public lands.
Before long, #Biodiversity Value will become a measurable contribution to the value of both public and privately owned land, including yours. It’s the beautiful gift you give to yourself, your children’s children, our wildlife, and the planet.

Before rushing off for a very busy fun time last weekend, we managed to plant out a few more Australian natives.

One #monarch visited this morning. Alas, the #ButterflyMilkweed is not ready yet. (Pictured: #JoePyeWeed, #StiffGoldenrod, #ButterflyMilkweed, #CommonMountainMint) #NativePlants #NorthernIllinois #gardening
