Our first baby Button (Buttonbush)

Our first baby button on one of our Buttonbush plants. The species is of special value to native bees, bumble bees, and honey bees. It attracts bees, butterflies, moths, and birds.

  2. Thank you for sharing this! I have one on my property, planted last year, and was amazed how active it was when it was in bloom. Glad to know it's contributing to the native sanctuary I am also trying to create.
