Echinacea are looking great! Be sure to search out the Monarda or beebalm and watch for hummingbirds at the brightly colored flowers. The bottlebrush buckeye, a butterfly magnet, is beginning to bloom. Phlox are starting to put on quite a show too. Hydrangea paniculata or peegee (panicle) hydrangea are amazing and full of pollinators, as are the steely-blue flowers of the Eryngium or sea holly.
