Hello and Welcome to Garden Thursday. Kinda quiet around here. With the hots and not much rain around here in the past week the grass is getting kinda crunchy in places. Mum says that is OK, then she doesn't have to mow it as often! She did do the longer parts the other day, but that was less than half of what is grass!
We have been seeing more butterflies in the past week. On the cone flowers and the Joe Pye weed. Mum got a pic of a yellow swallowtail. We also have been seeing monarchs flitting about. Seeing the butterflies makes us happy.
Otherwise we girls aren't doing too much. Just hanging out in the patio. Wishing the skeeters weren't quite so bad so mum could spend more time out here with us.
Thanks for visiting. Love Virginger, Glimmer, Trooper and Fleur.
Stay safe, stay healthy, please wear your mask.
The flowers look good. And we love ta see butterflyies around. We never bother them.

The flowers are pretty. We haven't seen as many butterflies this year, but a huge increase in all types of birds.
ReplyDeletePretty flowers! Dang, I haven't seen a butterfly all year, strange.
ReplyDeleteI've got some Joe Pye Weed plants on order, plus a few more native bloomers that will attract other flutterbyes!

We have seen more butterflies too...and dragonflies. We love seeing them.
ReplyDeleteThey must all be up at your house--we don't think we've seen more than a few butterflies this year. :-(
ReplyDeleteYour post reminded the Human of something. Those are more or less the same flowers and bugs she grew up with in Sacramento. But she has a very vivid memory of visiting Milwaukee for the first time in the summer when she was about 25 or so. She had never in her life seen a firefly. And you know how when something seems intriguing and wonderful you kind of build it up in your mind? And then you are kind of disappointed when you see it?
ReplyDeleteWell, that was NOT the case with fireflies. They were even more wonderful than she had imagined they would be, and she never thought they would be so BRIGHT!
