It’s been truly amazing to see how resilient the native plants in my butterfly garden were after Hurricane Ian. It’s also pretty spectacular to see new flowers pop up that I did not plant. I am convinced Hurricane Ian blew some sunflower seeds into my garden as I now have a few growing. This sunflower opened this morning showing its grand beauty. There is just something special about the gorgeous flower.

It’s humbling when we realise that Mother Nature takes freak weather in her stride much better than we humans with all our artificiality does!
It’s so true! It’s amazing how much the gardens have healed after so much battering. Puts a great deal into perspective!
