About five summers ago I began training my butterfly bush into a canopy, something I could read under without catching on fire. It's worked out for the most part, except at 4pm I have to move to the west side of the yard, in the shadow of the laurel.
The canopy took shape in the summer of 2020. The following year, hummingbirds zoomed in and out, feeding on the bush's cone-shaped flowers. This summer it is chickadees, in particular, the chickadee chicks, who hide out above, thinking I'll scare off their predators.
