This year, they're eating all three down to the ground. I caught the Asters and Mistflower in time to save some of them, but who knows if the Goldenrod will come back next year. I guess that gives new meaning to planting native plants for the wildlife.

I find the Walking Iris particularly interesting. The way it propagates itself through building baby plants is really cool.<br />It is hard to believe that the 'Blue Mistflower' can become a pest. I guess if that would happen in my garden I wouldn't mind ;-)!<br />Wishing you a lovely weekend!<br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-64026935429144767172015-09-11T20:55:46.662-05:002015-09-11T20:55:46.662-05:00Yes, it is!

I finally gave up on African Violets--my grandmother used to have quite a collection, but I could never keep them alive! I know what you mean about the children--that happened to me, too. Now the cats are more of a problem. I have to keep them out of the sunroom because one cat eats plants and the other one uses plants for his litter box. Argh. But I must say, the sunroom is a great place for potted plants during the winter!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-36046784076091850702015-09-11T20:34:14.096-05:002015-09-11T20:34:14.096-05:00Tee hee.

Actually, I also planted them in a different fenced-in area of my garden, and the bunnies don't go there at all! I have rabbit fencing in various spots around the garden, but I can't fence in everything with this lot! Sorry to hear about the Monarda.
