Aster flowers may be a butterfly magnet, but they are a bee hot spot.

My dad sent me a photo last week of a butterfly on his purple asters. But I didn’t know the name of the flower until now.

Cool connection, Crystal. Glad I could provide the flower name. Does your dad live in the Midwest US – seeing Fall asters?

Close. He is in the Oklahoma panhandle, not far from the Kansas border (or Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado).

Love these shots, Rebecca. I saw butterflies and bees on flowers like these in Wyoming this summer. So pretty.

I seem to remember from one of your earlier posts that you have a wonderful garden. You grow food crops and fruit trees in your plot of land in Jamaica, correct? Thank you for supporting pollinators, they need us and we need them. : )

Wonderful, the world needs more organic farmers. What are your staple crops? We have a small vegetable garden, which gives us declious dinners in the summer. This fall we’ve made a hearty soup from our pumpkins.

Yes pumpkins make a wonderful soup, when I started growing my own pumpkins without chemical fertilizer they tasted more delicious. Fall, spring and the other seasons must be nice to experience. because I live in the topics the seasons are not distinguished.
I grow a variety but peas, beans, green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, coco, dasheen, breadfruit, ackee, coconut are my most stable crops.

I think organic foods are more delicious too. Seasons have their charm, but I do envy your growing season! I had to look up dasheen and ackee. Interesting to hear about what grows well in your tropical climate.
