We planted about a dozen cardinal flowers earlier this year. They bloomed profusely in the wetland buffer zone in late summer. A byproduct of this, seems to be hummingbirds. Several Gramercy residents have mentioned they have seen hummingbirds at their deck flowerboxes for the first time. We have planted about loo more cardinal flower plants this fall and can hardly wait till next year #o see what happens! Ruth Booman took close-up pictures of the wildflowers that have been blooming and put them on our community bulletinboard. She has had many comments on them. Since residents have become aware of our project, they have been telling us what they have seen out their windows and as they walk behind our building to Rolling Hills Park. We laid a tree branch from the shore into the pond. Within hours a green heron was perched on it, and painted turtles were sunning on it regularly until the weather turned cold. We're very excited about our project. We appreciate the City of Plymouth offering us this opportunity, to make our neighborhood a better place.
