Couldn’t resist this picture of a lady past her prime.

I promised Bernadette I’d show this little creature today. She saw little aliens in my milkweed blossom photo yesterday. I thought they looked like either aliens or ducks. How do you vote?

Milkweed Blossom
jdb photo
I’ve seen milkweed pods but never the blossoms until my friend Betty invited me into her back yard to see the Monarch butterfly caterpillars feasting on the leaves of the milkweed she planted for that very purpose. I’m crazy about the blossoms and got some of her seed to launch my own hatchery. Yes, I got photos of the caterpillars which I’ll publish another day. Don’t want to detract attention from these beautiful and unique blooms today.

Seems we’re on a Dahlia kick! Love the color of this one.

A surprise when I went down on a photo expedition in my garden this morning. I’ve never had this color of dahlia in my garden before. I guess it is another example of chaos theory!!

I think these Thunbergias look like they have been ripped out of paper.

For some reason, the hibiscus bloom that was shriveled up yesterday rejuvenated itself today so I must publish these three photos to give you a better idea of its actual size. I love finding a hibiscus I don’t already have, and this one is a beauty!!! I’m like a mom with a new baby. I just have to keep sharing its progress! (Big baby.)
