I am back sorry I have been gone. I have been working on the garden and thanks to my new yard guys it is really developing.
Also wanting to see if my 4 Luna Moth cocoons produce any thing. Poor things had a time getting here. I had to chew out the UPS driver.

Welcome! Bee Happy, you must be in the UK? I don't think we get the Peacock butterfly here in the USA.

We have a similar one, shown in my avatar called Common Buckeye butterfly.

The most awesome thing happened yesterday! I walked out on the deck to the deafening sound of HUNDREDS of birds in the trees in my back yard. I could not see them at first, then they starting flying about everywhere, HUNDREDS of American Gold Finches! All day long! At my feeders, birdbaths, in the trees, on the lawn (eating Dandelion seeds). Typically we only get 2 of this type of bird a season. The other treat is we have a pair of Orioles that we feed on our deck, even if we sit a few feet away and do not move or talk loud, they come over a dozen times a day, I refresh their oranges and grape jelly. This is the best bird season ever. Sadly though much of it was ruined by the wind, could hardly stand to be out there!

Hello, all. I'm new to this site so please bear with me while I get acquainted with everything! Not sure exactly what will post or if you'll see that I'm from Dallas TX. Need help uploading photos. (What is lightbox? )

My butterfly/bee garden has perennial Texas native host plants for monarchs and swallowtails including antelope horns milkweed, fennel, biennial italian flat leaf parsley. Perennial nectar plants include rudbeckia, tickseed, pincushion flower, Gregg's blue mist, 3 varieties of salvia, brazos river penstemon, coneflower, bee balm, tall phlox and jewels of opar. The 12 year old dedicated hummingbird garden is comprised of turks cap, crossvine, pentas and flame acanthus.

Hi @ebalthrop Welcome! Welcome! "lightbox" is what you see when you first upload a photo. Once you hit "finished" it will show the photo. But, you have to go back to this thread to see your picture.

Check out the help forum link that Onewish1 provided and let us know if you have more questions. Scroll down a little and you will see where it says "upload an image" in the little green box, click that and it will take you to your photos. Once it uploads you can hit "preview" and/or "finished".

Back after a long hiatus. Still enjoying the flowers, birds, and butterflies. We are blessed to have a nesting pair of one of my favorite birds in a birdhouse under the eave of our front porch. That birdhouse has been in the same spot for over a decade here at Happily EverAfter and has not been used until now. Prothonotary warblers. The female is peeking out of the birdhouse and the male is watching over near by. I am glad to be back.
