This year I decided to let some clover and spiderwort grow in parts of my backyard for the pollinators. I also encouraged the plants that sprouted from seeds spilled from my bird feeders, mostly sunflowers but also this safflower. It's sort of a limited No Mow May that I am enjoying.
This is so pretty! I have been planning on letting any volunteers from the bird feeders mature this year also. I hope I get some pretty ones like this!
@grammyn As the sunflowers begin go form seeds, the squirrels nip of the seed pods and eat them. I have given up trying to discourage the squirrels from the bird feeders!
