September 2022 Moment in Nature

This month’s #amomentinnature celebrates one of those happy moments when one of your plants looks awesome! My hearts a bustin' shrub (Euonymus americanus) is under constant deer pressure. I'm used to finding only a few clusters of fruit on a plant that has been heavily browsed.

This year was different and when I walked past this particular plant, I was so surprised and grateful. This photo doesn't do justice to the dozens of fruits it was sporting.

This is a great plant to support birds. This month is Georgia Grows Native for Birds, an initiative sponsored by Georgia Audubon. For more bird food ideas, visit my earlier blog for suggestions.
