Candy-colored Zinnias

These are my go-to flowers to adding color to garden spots. Easy growers that don't complain much, and they have a natural resistance to many flower-eating insects.

Honeybee on Greek Oregano

I use Greek oregano tucked into plantings all around the yard because it attracts honeybees.

Brewer's Blackbird Teen
