Best Plants for Pollinators

Photos by S.R. Vrana, used by permission only.

The Penn State Extension Service has published a list of the best plants for pollinators.  Because many pollinators are in decline (and they are very necessary for human life!), it would be helpful for all of us to plant more of these species.  For the list, go to:

Also, contact your local Extension Agent for more information!

We have sunflowers in our yard. I don't know if they are Lemon Queen, but I hope it helps.
