NOW

Although I have been watching this garden since the hurricane and have visited about every other week, I was still surprised by the resiliency of nature and the abundance of volunteer seedlings.

Some of the native plants that were originally in the garden are in overdrive coming back up. We are seeing Scorpion Tail, Blanket Flower, Salvia, Yellow Top, Porterweed and Beach Sundune flower. We even have enough now to share with some of the other Collier County Butterfly Gardens.

We still have some major plants that are still missing and likely will not reseed on their own. The team is working to get replacement plants order and in the ground in the next few weeks.

We have a couple of garden friends who have scatter in some Zinna, Cosmos and other annual seeds and they have joined the party, although they might find it tough during our summer heat, we will leave them in place.
