And a flower show. Bees and butterflies and an occasional frog have all been almost as busy as me. I decided that today is a good day to show you a few photos.
In this picture of a cone flower there are two different types of bees and a butterfly.
I think I’ll call this one butterfly on coneflower with branches…
This is a native clematis. I’d not seen one like this so I ordered it last fall and it has done well. The tiny bell-shaped flowers are about the size of my thumb.
Two butterflies and a bee. My sunflowers have brought a myriad of callers.
How could anyone look at this ruffledy pink daylily and not smile.
This is new to the garden this year. It’s a hibiscus called “Texas Star". It’s not a blooming marijuana despite the look of the leaves.
Another worker.
Bro called me out on the back porch a couple of nights ago. This little guy was hanging out on the handle of the swiffer sweeper under the porch light.
Heap good hunting ground. The light brought in the moths and bugs and he had his own private buffet.
Ahhhh, morning glories.
That’s all the eye candy for today. We had a storm front blow through last evening, clear up for a couple of hours, then built up and rained for several hours. Which means I don’t have to water today which is good because I’m hurting from the barometric changes. The front broke the triple digit heat we’ve had and we are only going to be in the low 90’s for the next week or so. More like normal temperatures. Well worth any pain I’m dealing with today.
I hope you all have a great weekend. I’ll be posting the corn report at some point but for today I’m just going to go out and smell the rain fresh air and watch some of the British Open and I might even take a nap.
