Sun Birds

Goldfinches eagerly search for their favorite seeds, even when flowers like Cup Plant are still in bloom mid-summer.

And they love to stop by for a drink as rainwater collects in the cupped leaves of nature’s birdbath.

One of the tallest wildflowers in the habitat garden, Cup Plant is visited by birds, bees, butterflies and a variety of pollinators.
