A special thanks to Buttonbush over the past few weeks for supplying food and nutrients to the pollinators. Now the energy of this shrub will focus on producing seed heads that our songbirds will feast on. If we lived near a pond, mallard ducks would be in their glory! #Cephalanthusoccidentalis
A buttonbush past bloom peak where its rounded white flower petals are transitioning to brown coloring signifying the end of its bloom time. What’s left will be round balls where seeds will develop becoming a critical food source for birds. The heavy foliage is a perfect habitat for birds to nest.
