Woohoo! What would we do without the camera on our iPhone? I was watering the back yard and just for a second this guy/gal landed on top of the Joe Pye weed. I had seen it flitting around the yard earlier, so I had my phone set to camera. So beautiful! Thanks Daisy!

Thanks, thought so, but just wanted to make sure :-)

For starters maples produce opposite leaves - at every point a leaf joins the main stem there is another leaf directly opposite.

Thank you everyone. Thank you for taking time to help me I.D this one. It is really frustrating that I already wrote out a lengthy "well thought out" response, thanking you all, with an updated photo and some thoughts .... only to NOT see it appear at all!!! Even weeks after I originally posted it!! I was hoping it would go through their filters and suddenly pop up (like a previous post did) but i have no idea where it went for now, hope it pops up still. Very frustrating Houzz!! I liked the old gardenweb platform much better.
