Duke, our butterfly weed has already finished and is full of seed pods. Lynn must save a few and control the rest. Our swamp milkweed is where she is finding an abundance of monarch eggs this year. Last year was not good. You look terrific and we luv flowers, but so do our deer. Precious
Thanks for sharing all of those special 'plants' - including the last one with the growing tongue!
Be ready - our heat advisory goes in to effect at 11am - we are heading to 95 - and I know Mom has already planned I will not be 'venturing with her and Auntie Di later today - but I think she's going to humor me with a ride to The Green Paper$ Machine!
Well well Duke you and Mom found some mighty lovely posies for us today. And OH how impressed I am that you know the names. I am a huge fan of all names. The Red Sumac (yay) and Clivia are my 2nd and 3rd favorites. You dear Duke are the most handsome of all Hugs Cecilia

Hari Om I've never heard Hypericum being called Aaron's Beard before... one of my favourite shrubs! And the Clivia is beautilicious!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Oh, beautiful has come to bloom - so very pretty!!! And we love the color of that pretty milkweed. It has not been a great season for flowers here, too much rain and not enough sun, we guess. And maybe way too much HOT HOT HOTness.
wow your clivia is super!!! ours is just green since 87 years ;o)
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful flowers in bloom around your place. You are so smart with the names, we usually have no idea but just enjoy looking at them.

Happy Friday, Duke. Beautiful flowers. I had butterfly weed in Oklahoma, but haven't seen any here.
