Seed heads of Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa)

In winter, the beauty is in the details; I think these dry seed heads are stunning!  In the summer, each tiny fringed tube ("pipe") held a lavender flower, rich in nectar - a magnet for bees (even queen bumble bees), butterflies,  and moths, including the Hummingbird Clearwing Moth. A GREAT pollinator plant!  (Don't cut down the dried stems until spring; birds may eat the seeds in the winter.)

Local parks have been converted to habitat over the last 5 years. This area in Holly Park, Darien was once mowed grass, now it is home to natives and the wildlife that returned. You can see butterflies, bees, dragonflies and much more when you visit. There are also two newer oaks in the center where the finches and other birds rest. If you build it, they will come. It is beautiful!

I tag oak trees in our local parks with Morton Arboretum signs each Oaktober.  This photo was taken on the parkway at Westwood Park, Darien.  I was searching for whole acorns for an educational event but was having a hard time - wildlife had already cached most of them away!

Nothing beats a walk in fresh fallen show, and the beauty it leaves on stems left for wildlife. They stand tall in the garden through the winter losing their seeds but not their purpose.

Wild Senna  Senna hebecarpa or Cassia hebecarpa.
This native in the family Fabaceae or bean/legume family, is the best bumble bee magnet in my home habitat. I love the leaves which provide nesting material for leafcutter bees all summer, the yellow blooms look like bearded old men and the seeds are also interesting looking and bust open readily!  I leave the seeds on the plants or share them with others. I have also had good luck spreading them to start new plants in other parts of my habitat!
