Who this garden brings back

Because missallainy planted these, these named species have a place here.

Monarch ButterflyEndangeredButterfly
A Monarch can only raise its young on milkweed. No milkweed, no Monarchs. It's that simple, and that fixable.
Little Brown BatEndangeredBat
Disease wiped out most of them. A single bat eats thousands of insects a night, the ones night-blooming natives raise.
Chimney SwiftThreatenedBird
It catches every meal on the wing. Native plants sustain the insects it lives on.
Common NighthawkThreatenedBird
Its dusk call is going quiet. It hunts the night-flying moths that evening-primrose and milkweed raise.
Eastern Whip-poor-willThreatenedBird
Named for its haunting call, now seldom heard. It depends on the large moths native plants raise.
American Bumble BeeSpecial concernBee
It needs goldenrod and asters to fatten up before winter. The late-summer blooms most gardens are missing.
