This native shrub we recently planted at a client's is Cephalanthus occidentalis or Buttonbush. Can anybody ID our winged friend?
The question of what is Native and whether or not to use all or some is complicated. So, I generally try to get in as many as I can, starting with some trees that will attract a good number of desired insects. For details check Douglas Tallamy's BRINGING NATURE HOME: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens (Timber Press).
