My name is Chris Buscemi , and I go in Wells , Maine . You have posted my photos in the past(seeA Profusion of Pink in Maine).Here are some of my favorite photos this yr so far .

This is in my front G . I planted a pollinator garden full of pinkish coneflowers(Echinacea purpurea , Zones 3–8 ) and different - colored phlox(Phloxpaniculata , Zones 4–8 ) and grasses . It is overflowing with bees , butterflies , and my favored hummingbird sphinx moth .
