I try to offer all my relations a wide variety, and then plant more of the popular things. :D So I'm trying to expand sedum and garlic chives (not native) along with mountain mint and milkweed (native) and I've decided to let the goldenrod stay. The prairie garden is all over skippers in summer, because they like the mix of grasses and wildflowers. Sometimes Gaia throws in new things I didn't buy myself, like the cup plants and the wild grapes.

This spring I saw a hooded warbler using my yard as a rest stop, and a pair of bald eagles decided it made a romantic carpet for their courting flight. I'm so flattered. :D
