Hot Summer cone flowewr and bee

Golly, JoAnn, I think that's one of MY bees! I recognize him!....Nice pics, too!...Arlyn

I thought it was considerate of him to turn around for the second shot

I train them well! I also tell them to "stay in the yard", but this one didn't listen! ..Arlyn

Its odd how people think.
I lived next to a woman who came from a big city environment.I guess she thought she was a farmer on her 40X120 foot lot.She started a garden,read books etc.
One day I saw her laying lengths of 1x6 lumber along the fence line and asked her was she making a raised bed. She said she didnt want the insects from my yard to come into her yard and eat the squash.

You gotta wonder about some people

Holy moley -- they're out there! And they vote!!!!

agreed

Sadly, I'm afraid a lot of them have been voted IN, too! ....Common sense is an uncommon virtue...don't know who said it, but they sure hit the nail on the head!...Arlyn

I believe my iris is Soto Bosco.There are 3 in a grouping and Soto Bosco is the only rebloomer.Cant wait to see it.

Never heard of that one! What color?..Arlyn

Oh -- it's glorious!! Is it a Bianco?

Yes.

I love thje close values in colors that are companions.
