RE: native/wild bees- and other good bugs

Your lotus bog looks great!   I actually do have a fair number of native
plants.  We have a local nursery that specialized in this- Cornflower Farms.
I'd love to have a pond- but no space.  So a birdbath that is on the ground
is as close as I'll get, I'm afraid.

Thanks for sharing the pics-
Theresa

Good for you Theresa! Next you will be adding native plants and a
pond....:)

Actually, if you add a small water feature I am betting the toads and
snakes will appear too... Might consider a small bog area. I just took
out the small pre-formed pond in the front and turned it into a lotus
bog in the last few weeks. Will look better once the lotus starts
growing... but anyways, here are a few pictures:
