Good Invaders (for a change) and some "Naked Ladies&quo Okay... we'll get the Naked Ladies out of the way first. :-D There used to be a fence along there years ago. "Wild Daffodils" will pop up there, but this is the first time I remember seeing the Naked Ladies there too.

Black Swallowtail Caterpillars devour the Butterfly Milkweed while Ladybugs tackle the spider mites.

Yippee! And speaking of Gulf Frits... Gulf Fritillary on Turk's Cap ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden )
There are some invaders that we really don't mind in the garden aren't there? Thanks for the pictures of all your 'goodies.'
What is the proper name for your 'naked ladies'? Only in Britain,'naked ladies' is the common name for Colchicum species.
Nice critters! I always enjoy seeing caterpillars. They bring promise of colour and elegance in my garden.
Very disappointing, I was looking for something like this when you said naked ladies. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
