Bumblebees and Black-eyed Susans
Hello Everyone! You know, my favorite time in summer is when the black-eyed susans start to bloom. I love them because they just scream “It’s summer!” and they last forever, well into the fall at my house, adding some lovely orange accents to the season. They feed the little birds and require next to no maintenance.… Continue reading Bumblebees and Black-eyed Susans
