Spiraea latifolia (Eastern Meadowsweet) are two that should be native to your area. |

Yeah, I am familiar with those species... These alien Spiraeas we put into the front yard a few years ago, before I got into natives. Since they aren't invasive, I really haven't prioritized replacing them, but if we somehow end up staying here a few years I probably will.

amelanchier,
I meant those suggestions for Jack or anyone else who read the thread. I didn't meant to imply that you should remove yours. The other day I saw a sphinx moth eating from a dame's rocket. I definitely want to remove that invasive, but feel I will pull them after they've flowered so as not to remove a source of nectar. I want to find natives that will bloom at the same time next year. In practice, I'm finding it more and more difficult to just remove things without replacing them with something appropriate. |

I didn't know offhand, but according to this site (papilio canaden frames), the cats feed on birches, poplars, crabapples, and black cherries. I have three of those in my back yard (cottonwood, crabapple, black cherry).

Sage, I like how you've captured the clover right between the rabbbits ears. Boy I'd sure have a hard time labeling swallowtails or any butterfly scientifically like you did. They all look the same to me....BEAUTIFUL!

We've got the swallowtails here too. Just last week I took probably too many shots trying for a good one.
Problem was it was licking upon a pile of fish scale filled ![]()
