If it was an orchid, it would be a Bulbo for sure.

Butterflies are back en masse on ths Silphium. It blooms for months and the number of butterflies at one time make this a neighborhood attraction. I always think if I got rid of it all the space I would free up, but when the butterflies I arrive, I know it can stay! LOL.

Pretty, Kathy.
Today I was standing near the Crape Myrtle and noticed a delicious scent. You had asked about it...and yes! it does have one.

I just went out and sniffed both of my crapes...nothing. You must have a special one, Janice. Do you know the name of it?

Yes, Jim, it is Tuscarora. And when it first bloomed it had no scent.

The gardens and pictures that appear in this section are truly captivating in their beauty and organization, mine little areas are much more haphazard.

Here are a couple of my daylilies that I have names for that are not yellow, orange or brown
