They provide no nectar for pollinators so I feel obligated to make sure everything else in our spaces makes up for that little trick they play. And boy - you hit the nail on the head.

I think I might welcome the weeding if I could hang out with a hawk and smell tropical flowers. Austin is one tricky place for thinking about temperature changes and what might move in and what might no longer fit. All it takes is one normal winter to take out the borderline hardy but the summers are consistently hotter and drier. Too hot for some zone 8s but not warm enough for zone 9. debrahttp://mylandrestorationproject.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-72628895918545065322014-08-29T06:59:47.203-05:002014-08-29T06:59:47.203-05:00THGMama: I am totally smitten with hawks.

It's good you mention that as our "temperatures shift" what we think of as "natives" will shift according ingly--for both good and not-so-good. That hawk was a treat for you! Thanks for sharing him.
