Hope this is an acceptable contribution here. I’ve been converting areas of my Midwestern yard to native plant habitat for the past 2+ years. It’s sparkling with fireflies tonight while the surrounding grass yards are dark. Gives me a bit of a boost to get ready for tackling the sprouts of pokeweed and thistle tomorrow.
I think they’re one of the things I miss the most having grown up on the edge of the midwest. I am in Europe now and we do not get them. They are magical.
