My noon photos: Kwanza lily Martha Washington geranium "Masquerade" ornamental pepper. I started by planting seeds. Sunflower volunteer. The birds planted it. Eastern tiger swallowtail.
Love your photos especially the tiger swallowtail. Interesting what your birds are planting too. I'm growing sunflowers for the very first time. I think Russian Mammoth. They're taller than me but no blooms yet. Hopefully soon. Your "Marthas" looking lovely too
Very pretty! They all look great, even your bird planted sunflower. Aren't surprises like that fun? Were your ornament peppers easy to start?
A stroll through a garden is such a delight, and your garden certainly gives plenty to look at and enjoy! We have Swallowtails also, and are very happy to see them.
Very pretty donm. Those double daylily's are nice ... I have millions of singles around the yard. Great shot of the butterfly too
The ornamental peppers are easy to grow. They make a nice house plant. (They can't take frost). I have seeds if anyone wishes to try them. Send me a message with your address and I will mail you seeds. They are a hot pepper.
@donm - re: ornamental pepper - Is your ornamental pepper a type of pepper you would have grown in the garden and picked peppers from but brought it in as a houseplant? I saw it but thought it was the kind of ornamental pepper you'd buy in a florist shop. It looks lovely but I would never thought it was a real (as in edible pepper) you could actually use in cooking. Definitely lovely
Love those Kwanzas! Mine aren't doing much- yet! Cayuga Mary sent me some last summer ( I think) and I cleaned their bed yesterday and pampered them and will throw some Queen Ann's lace seeds in there this afternoon. Your butterfly pic looks like a postcard
Thought I posted here but guess I lost it ??? I love your Kwanzas! Cayuga Mary sent me some last summer (I think) maybe it was 2014. They aren't doing much-yet. Yesterday I cleaned their bed and pampered them. This afternoon I plan on putting some Queen Ann's Lace seeds with them. Your butterfly pic looks like a postcard!!
