Description
Part of a triptych – this group of pieces (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner) showcases three species of plant that provide a reliable food source to birds, insects and other animals through winter months when food can be scarce. After these plants have died, the seedheads offer nutrients to winter foragers, and often times offer shelter to insects and smaller animals. These plant species are an excellent addition to your garden to help wildlife in the colder months, and are best left alone (not cleared and weeded out from your garden!) until spring.
Lunch illustrates a male northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) sitting on the edge of a giant sunflower (Helianthus giganteus). Sunflowers can feed cardinals, chickadees, goldfinches and red-bellied woodpeckers, among many birds.
