Gone Native

June 19-25, 2023 is National Pollinator Week; an annual event to support pollinator health.

We've been planting native-to-Michigan species in our gardens for years, but we are always surprised by what we find...
Like a black cat, and it's not one of ours.
Wild Geranium
Mystery plant; my plan says I put a Buttonbush here, but this is NOT a buttonbush!
Update: It's a Red-Berried Elder.
Penstemon, love the delicate colors...
Am grateful that we have the means to dig up the yard, good guidance in what to plant from our friend CE, and as a lazy gardener, new plants are watered in, then they are on their own.
