Hummingbirds and finches, for example, favor red and yellow plants such as fuchsia, impatiens, morning glory, petunias and, surprisingly, catnip. Butterflies are attracted to certain types of plants. It was a common practice in many Victorian gardens to plant such items as sweet alyssum, sunflowers, bronze fennel, heliotrope and French marigolds to encourage the feast of color and gentle hum of black swallowtails, monarchs and others. This does not require a large space. All of these plants and many others are suitable for containers and can bring the joy of these airborne tunesmiths to even the smallest of spaces.
Frogs tend to move into swampy or very damp and muddy neighborhoods such as pond bottoms.
Make good use of that leftover corn and keep your small furry visitors away from the birdseed, too. If they live in your neighborhood, they would probably be happy to hop over to your backyard pond.
