As we plant more native Michigan/Midwest flowers, bushes, and milkweed, we are experiencing an increase in pollinators!
We have a long way to go yet, as I'd like to replace every inch of lawn.
Here are a few images of what's coming up:

| Raindrops on clover |
 |
| Jack-In-The-Pulpit |
 |
| Wild Ginger bloom They flower right at the base of the plant, on the ground! |

| Pussytoes |
Our bee house
Bats!

| Paddy O'Malley is backyard security! |
We love your wildlife photos. And of course, Paddy!
ReplyDeleteWe have a bat house and have never gotten bats in it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Paddy is doing a great job at security.

Really cool photos and Paddy is doing a terrific job!
ReplyDeletePaddy looks very alert, ready for anything.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Love seeing the wild life. Have a terrific day.
ReplyDeletePawesome pics guys and we love your bee house, it's epic!
ReplyDeleteGreat images of wildlife. Raindrops on clover are beautiful! Paddy is a wonderful security kitty :-)
ReplyDeleteOooo! The garden is looking good!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! My yard was very shady into I lost or removed several trees and all the flora is changing. I have to do another inventory and change my diagram. Happy gardening!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking lovely, and so is Paddy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Love you, Paddy!
ReplyDeleteMr. O'Malley, I envy you your kingdom! I heard people are finding five-leaf clovers..have you discovered any in your travels? - Tom x
ReplyDeleteI like that bat house. Great photos- especially of PO'M.
ReplyDeleteThe battle of the weeds is the worst. We wish your parents luck. They are relentless.
ReplyDeleteI forget that bats are pollinators too! PO'M, love every photo of that charmer
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your yard and the wildness in it. I would love to have the same. PO'M you are the cat's Meow of Security! I adore the bee house. One of my human bros has his down on a tree. I don't think it's had any inhabitants...
ReplyDeleteThat is such a terrific yard. Lots of neat stuff. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWe had jack-in-the-pulpit Down East. It's always best to plant native species. It's what supposed to be there, anyway. And bats are good, too.
ReplyDeleteWow! You are creating a little natural oasis in your yard, I love it! The bats are wonderful, you are Superheroes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden ! Good job snoopervising, PO'M ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteLovely! I would love to become a nonconformist and improve our lawn. ~sigh~ One season at a time, I guess. ~nods~ Nice guardian, too. :)
