My Garden, For Cee: FOTD Jan 14, 2022

Cee remarked on loving my garden, so here is a view of some of it for her. If you click on the photos, they enlarge, and some have captions.

Some denizens of my garden are fauna, not flora. This colorful insect is a large cow-killer ant (actually a female wingless wasp with a very painful bite, thus the name.)
This one is less easily overlooked.
This little guy rapped loudly on some tree in the neighborhood until I finally went out to see where he was. But, the minute I went out the door, he would freeze and become invisible. Finally, however, I caught him doing his business, whereupon he promptly flew away and has not returned. Here he is eighty feet up in the tree.

Sometimes hard to distinguish between agaves, cacti and aloe. After a long search, I’ve settled on agave, but I’m willing to be persuaded. An interesting fact. All cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti.

Snapped this shot of an unidentified succulent in my friend Dianne’s garden. Luckily, she also gave me a few cuttings so you’ll soon see it in my own garden.
