Mistflower attracting butterflies. Mexican oregano attracts hummingbirds. Not sure what the Thryallis feeds. It blooms beautifully and all spring and summer, but never see a bee, butterfly or any bug on it… Tiny garlic and onion chives are blooming.
Little snake hiding in my pots. Still getting used to this aspect of gardening. Let it live. =)
Little frog in the bucket we use to catch water that drips from the faucet. Hope he is not dinner for the snake!
I think this is the best part of gardening without pesticides. Love seeing salamanders, lizards, toads, frogs, birds, and even snakes. But it is a circle of life. When we have tons of tadpoles, something comes along and eats them at night. Poor little fellers.
Lots of rain this year makes for big plants. I’ve been trimming all year so that we can continue to use our sidewalk. Many plants did not die back like this overgrown Thyrallis! You can barely see the house. Love the rain though…
