Re: Perennials-Swallowtail on Zinnia

Hello everyone.  I've noticed this year that many of my insects have not
returned.  Normally my garden is absolutely alive with buzzing, swooping,
soaring insects, and there are very few this year.  I'm baffled.  I also
have no hummingbirds, and I've had many in previous years.  Yet I've seen
hummingbirds at people's feeders.
