It’s summer! When it comes to native flowers, what can we expect? And what should we consider when we realize our summer doesn’t have enough native flowers? You can imagine that over the last 12 years, I’ve written about summer flowers a time or two. Here is a list of summer topics you might want to read. I hope that you find something inspirational for your garden this summer!
