There are so many insects coming to visit this little patch of greenery. Beyond logic, the ground here seems very wet and is visited by bright blue dragonflies. There are bumblebees and honey bees landing on the clover, fireweed and other flowers, and cabbage butterflies wind in and out. I didn't think there was anything living in such a small patch disconnected from other greenery, but I wasn't thinking about the flying animals. Bugs have no problem getting here and visiting!
Budd's neighbor is just about to start blooming and a part of me feels almost competitive - like Budd should try and show it up somehow. Maybe by blooming sooner, bigger, or longer. I will name this second buddleja Leia. So far, Leia has an early lead on blooming, but maybe Budd will catch up! And if they bloom together, maybe Budd and Leia will make seeds I can collect!
The space around here is used for such a variety of events. There has been yoga and summer camps for kids, and today there is some kind of catered event with games and activities. I love seeing so much use of outdoor spaces.
