Jean,
I especially like Hidden riches, but Bunny Puff is very delicate. I love Ms. Blackie. She is a pretty cat.

Great blooms. Hidden Riches is such a vivid yellow. Ms Blackie looks like she wants to know what you are doing.

Wow, those Butterflies are so pretty. They are really pretty even in the daylight. What great garden ornaments!

I see lots of buds in the backround of your pictures. I hope you will be having blooms now every day.

A variegata Blooms (photo)and more pipevine cats

Hi Elizabeth, The little pipevine cats are piggies, for certain! Yes, this is the same little wild A variegata plant I found on that construction acreage while searching for milkweed to feed my first ever Monarch cats. I was so new to butterfly gardening, I didn't even know what I'd come across, wasn't absolutely certain it was even milkweed. It was you guys, here on the butterfly forum, who ID'ed the little plant and told me how special the plant was to the community; that I should attempt to save it before the construction equipment killed it. Still waiting on a seed pod but always have the pleasure of enjoying the lovely blooms each spring. I have one Aristolochia macrophylla vine and it is finally beginning to climb. For me, it's been a really slow grower but it might be the planting site. I have it near a large Oak. I've seen photos of it growing in what looks like at least half day sun. Maybe the dappled light it gets here isn't enough. Mary

Folks...I guess I was having a "senior moment", or maybe it's a blonde thing...but whatever it was, I incorrectly labeled the dl above that I called Strawberry Masquerade. It's really "Raspberry Masquerade" DUH!!! I knew it was one of those berry ones!!! LOL Sorry bout that....I'll try to pay closer attention from now on. Thanks to all you folks who've commented on my photos since the last time I was on this thread. So glad you're all enjoying my garden and dl's. Jan

Daylilies and More Cottage Garden

Definitely says cottage to me! It looks like a place you can be quite comfortable in while enjoying the bright colors and sights. I love the "aged" look of the garden, lots of volunteers and seedlings weaving through, making new magic. Those pink hollyhocks are just lovely, and the black and blue salvia practically glows it's so blue. I'd like to see more of that twig arbor that is just peeking out in the photo.

Kay - I was a little disappointed with Indigo Bunting. The older Lambertsons I have are much better. Jean - I'm sorry you lost your purple butterfly bush. I lost a Pink Delight butterfly bush during our drought. But I have three others. Julie - You are right. Beautiful blooms and bugs are a plus! Rita - I wonder what's wrong with your Shores of Time? Maybe you need to move it, like you did with those others that weren't performing. I hate that you didn't get blooms on that one. It's such a delight here. Debra

Hidden riches is so bright! I'm so glad you are having blooms. I like your ornaments, just love how they look at night though. Ms Blackie is looking good as usual, I think she is enjoying modeling for you.

Thank you all for the nice comments.Ms Blackie don't let me out of her sight when I am outside.Where ever I go in the yard,shes only a couple feet behind me and if I am trying to plant some thing,shes got her head in the way,thinking I will just stop what I am doing and play with her or just pet her.Shes very affectionate.Gee, hope I am close to spelling that word right :-)

Jean, those butterfly lights are really great!! They are even nice during the day. Ms. Blackie is nice too, I know my new one (Whiskey) gets his head down like that too when I am trying to plant or weed. Hey, spelling doesn't count here!!!
