Look at this incredible camouflage job. 🌱🦗🌱
Just chilling, hanging out on a Salvia leaf. The garden truly attracts so much life.

Known as ‘Hummingbird Mint’, the leaves of this Agastache aurantiaca ‘Coronado’ exude a scent of mint when you brush past them. 🍃

@frdvil So cool!

Started a new hanging basket and have been enjoying the way these Violas look when the sun shines through them in the morning. ☀️

This ‘Scarlet Larkspur’#delphinium cardinale has sent out several squadrons of brave little red fairies to protect the garden.

@emilyedwards349 Agreed, a fascinating tidbit! Thanks!

According to Greek myth, the first #delphiniums sprung up where ancient gods quarreled and their blood fell to the earth in divine, blessed droplets.

@JoanneDeStefan1 Bravo, nice work that all can enjoy!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@JoanneDeStefan1 Whoa!

Trying out this #salvia for the first time. It’s sprawling out in its pot, acting more like a vine than a tree. It bears short lived blooms, but the most intense blue you could hope for.

Salvia cacaliifolia "Guatemalan Leaf Sage"

Planted this #Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea ‘Camelot Rose’) in a nice sized container last year... it didn’t bloom until this spring. Almost used the pot for something else several times, but now I’m glad we stuck it out.

@TexanInOz Very cool, never seen these 👍🏽

Calling all Monarch’s... 🦋 are you out there?

🦋(We’ve been willing them to appear for the last year, cultivating this easy and sturdy Asclepias curassavica “Bloodflower / Mexican Milkweed”.)🦋
