But where are the monarchs? ROUNDUP! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteLots of dragon flies and damsels flies but butterflies are scarce for now. They should be appearing soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a range of beautiful flowers you have in your garden. As the weather gets warmer I'm sure the monarchs will appear.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand assortment of blossoms!!! They're all so beautiful in their own way.
ReplyDeleteReading your profile, I too love to watch birds and photograph them!!!
By the way, I've never heard nor seen a red hot poker flower...how very pretty!
So many beautiful blossoms!
ReplyDeleteOver the years i have had most of these plants in my garden and it is loovely to see them again in your garden. I especially love the Water lily in bud adn open and the Red hot poker.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I am moving into a new house and the previous owner wasn't much of a gardener but obviously and astilbe lover - which I am too. That waterlily makes me very jealous.
ReplyDeleteI love the waterlily! Pretty flowers and gorgeous images!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful blooms in your garden. The waterlily, day lily and the toned down red-hot poker (I like the color of yours) all caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteHappy Bloom Day!
Gorgeous photos! I especially like the hydrangeas, the pastel colours are so pretty!
