But where are the monarchs? ROUNDUP! Tom The Backroads Traveller

Lots of dragon flies and damsels flies but butterflies are scarce for now. They should be appearing soon.

What a range of beautiful flowers you have in your garden. As the weather gets warmer I'm sure the monarchs will appear.

What a grand assortment of blossoms!!! They're all so beautiful in their own way.

Reading 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!

Over 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.

Great 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.

Such 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.
Happy Bloom Day!
