Hummingbird activity today

Fragrant Bee Balm is winding down and hummingbirds were working hard collecting nectar.

Help wanted August garden

Achieving the natural look in a controlled space is .......... a talent.

August Garden

Heptacodium buds ready to pop

The scent of northern jasmine is not far away on this mid august day. I fell in love with this plant when someone pointed out the three distinctive ribs on each leaf and then I was surprised with a very drought tolerant and fragrant shrub.

Figs

Dragonfly

Dozens of dragonflies flying in groups above head today

Hydrangea Pia

With the blue hydrangea colors - you don't have to do much, when the garden's soil is acidic, aluminum is more bioavailable.
