or Nature just keeps giving
Just a quick note to say all is well here with a few pictures from around the yard.

| .Clouded sulfur butterfly. Check out the green eyes. |
 |
| Moss rose. |
 |
| Remember the zinnia that the rabbits were munching on? |
 |
| They made a comeback. However, there were others that didn't make it. |
 |
| The pears are getting ripe. |
 |
| And we actually have some apples this year! However, they aren't quite ripe yet. |
Until next time...
Your garden is looking lovely with all those pretty flowers and the fruit ripening! Yay for the zinnias which made a come back! My little apple seedling which I'm growing from a seed seems to be holding up in this heat! I wonder if I will ever get any apples from it?!
ReplyDeleteWe've had our "new" apple tree for several years, and this year it produced it's first apple which promptly fell off when it was the size of a golf ball. Maybe next year we'll see a couple more. You seem to have good luck with fruit trees, so I think your apple seedling is going to do well.
DeleteYou got an amazing picture of the clouded sulfur butterfly--I haven't ever heard of those, btw. Your pear pictures are making me hungry for pears. Our local ones should be ready in a few weeks. It's a pretty time of year, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI like the pink fringe on the sulfur butterfly. This was the first time I noticed one, however, I have probably seen them before under the name of little white butterfly. It's about the size of the cabbage butterflies that wreak havoc with the cruciferous plants.
DeleteYou did great getting the pictures of the butterflies! Yummy with the pears growing! I'm not sure I ever knew anyone that had a pear tree! Lovely pictures from your yard!

There were two pears trees planted here when we moved in, so we were lucky that way.
DeleteThe black eyed susans are really beautiful. Where do you turn to ID butterflies and moths?
ReplyDeleteI use the image search with Google and it usually does well matching my photo. I look at several matches and then specifically search for the kind that I think it is to confirm it. I don't use a particular site, but it usually some state dept. of natural resources.
DeleteJune your garden is so lovely. My mom would just gush over all the pretty flowers and plants. I'm not a gardener but I love your black-eyed Susan and the other yellow flowers. All yellow flowers are my favorite. Yellow is such a bright and cheery color on flowers; I can't help but smile when I see yellow flowers.
ReplyDeleteI think that is why so many people like sunflowers--their bright and cheery yellow flowers. I guess they are just big versions of black-eyed susans.
