Small tortoiseshell #butterfly making the most of the phlox in my #Somerset #garden today! 🦋💚 Somerset Wildlife Trust BC Somerset & Bristol The British Nature Guide #ActionForInsects #GardenersWorld #gardening #nature #naturelover

Pink and purple garden in Sacramento with Hibiscus syriacus (Rose of Sharon) and Ruellia (Mexican Petunia)

This beautiful female monarch #butterfly has been enjoying the garden this evening. First I have seen in a few months!

Surprised to see Lycoris (Spider Lily) bloom after planting bulbs four years ago. Hummingbirds are enjoying Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff' and Epilobium (California Fuchsia)

TRICKY TRANSPOSONS, those wily jumping pigment genes, a hallmark of broken-colored Zinnia violacea 'Peppermint Stick'. Variegation usually quite uniform, but flowerhead in pic 1 has decided to go half & half!😃 A beloved heirloom my Grandmother grew, now reselected. Asteraceae

Rosa 'Madame Isaac Pereire' Passiflora 'Vincenza' and Orange Sulphur Butterflies on Lavandula 'Hidcote'
