Silver spotted skipper

Moni, I've always loved those big plants. What are they?

Casey, very cool. The flowers are shown in different stages. What are they?

It's a castor bean plant. Got to be careful, cause the beans are poison. Don't let little kids play with them.

Back when I had little kids, I would cut the seed pods off, as soon as I found them.

Jae, where were you those threads are cool!

liatris... (in front of white phlox) I stole tiny little on leaf plants that
were growing in the bank's parking lot. I took a
bunch of seeds from them too, two years ago.

Thanks schoolhouse.....It was just fun to sit and watch the life of a burrowing owl......:0)

Dh didn't like this pick....says her wings are blown out.....I convinced him that if he didn't post it as his....then I'd claim it. ;0) (No I didn't take this one) :0)

Kat - those were threads for my embroidery machine and I decided to get creative and take a picture, lol. I love your flowers!

Kat - sadly, yes and that was a mere drop in the bucket, lol. An expensive habit that I indulged myself in shamelessly!
