Pollinators of Mexican Torch Sunflower - Nature 168

The Mexican Torch Sunflower grows well in the yard in this time of year. Flowers continuously blooms from spring to frost,

By far the best attractor for pollinators in the yards. We observed some pollinators as frequent visitors:
- Butterfly
- Bees
- Hummingbirds
- Moth etc.

Almost every morning, we enjoy seeing pollinators sip nectar of multi-headed Mexican sunflowers.

We bought the plant from a local nursery close by our neighborhood, or you might order seed from online stores.

  21. Bonjour, quel bonheur de découvrir ce tournesol flamboyant, véritable phare pour les pollinisateurs ! Les papillons, abeilles et colibris semblent danser chaque matin autour de ses corolles incandescentes un ballet discret mais essentiel, merci pour ce partage lumineux, où la nature s’invite avec grâce dans le quotidien, les images sont superbes, et l’observation attentive que vous en faites est un vrai baume pour l’âme, bon week-end à vous, sous le soleil du Mexique et les ailes du vivant, Régis.
