Luna Moth

I discovered the beautiful Luna Moth when I was watering some flowers. It was alive but would not fly. The next day I looked in the same place and only saw pieces of it left. I wonder what happened?

Butterfly Weed

I love the bright orange of the butterfly weed. Some came back from seed that I put in the ground last fall. I also planted some in pots this spring and moved them to the garden. Hopefully they will bloom this summer.

Butterfly Bush at Sunset

Sometimes you get lucky and get that "special" photo. This beautiful sunset followed a storm and the butterfly bush blooms were a good contrast against the sky.

Mitzi loves being in the yard when I am gardening.

Sunset

What a beautiful sunset!

The first hummingbird came to the feeder on April 25 and then I didn't see one again until two weeks ago.

Chipmunk

This little chipmunk enjoyed my front porch for 4 days, showing up each day around noon.

Carnations "Cheddar Pink"

These mini carnations have a wonderful fragrance.

Spirea Japonica "Bridal Veil"

Shasta Daisy

I planted these shasta daisies in pots last spring and then moved them to the garden. They are just beginning to bloom.

Calycanthus Sweet Shrub

A very fragrant shrub that blooms all summer.
