These are (probably) some of the last photos I’ll be posting of my garden this year. I have already dumped a lot of pots and cleaned out some areas of the garden (I hate to pull out still-blooming plants though, so I usually just leave them all until the frost knocks them down). Most of [...]

There’s nothing common looking about this beautiful butterfly, the Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia). I see these butterflies quite often in my gardens in summer. Today, this one kept coming back to some tall yellow marigolds on the patio. Click on the photos to enlarge and see the gorgeous patterns of color and large eyespots on [...]

Well, actually these are photos taken over the past two weeks. I have been so busy with the planting and yard work that I haven’t had time to post. I still have so many plants just waiting to be planted.. The photo at left is a Showy Orchis (Orchis spectabilis), a very pretty little wild [...]

It is so hot and humid here it’s ridiculous, 85% humidity right now at midnight. It is already feeling like summer and it seems as if everything is blooming a little early this year — the May Night salvia is even blooming (photo at left)! The Agastache I started from seed indoors is already blooming [...]

The trees are all sprouting now, bulbs and perennials are popping up everywhere and the butterflies are back! I have seen several small purple Spring Azures for the past two weeks [...]
