I've been asked, as a Master Gardener, to do a presentation on attracting wildlife to the garden and wanted to refer to some of the info in this post, but want to make sure I get it right. When you refer to aster, do you mean flowers with the name aster in their name, or members of the asteracea family, such as coreopsis, fleabane, and coneflower. Sunflowers which are #3 on the list are also members of the asteracea. Know you have the background I lace for these finer points. If you have time to reply, you may want to use my email address. Look forward to your articles. ct Hi Carole
