@Esther Knapicius how beautiful! I don't think I've seen a lily like that before 
What does your garden look like ... Today?

Do you have any problem with red lily beetles, I ended up giving away all my Asiatic lilies because of them.

Not so far.

Thought I'd share something, not from my native garden, but from my garden pond. At least six ducklings have hatched this morning! The mom has been on the nest all month long and I knew it was going to happen any day now. Now I'll wait to see how long they stay. I'm hoping to get shots of them swimming in my pond before they move on.

You guys have a lovely garden. My garden is so messed up these days that I don;t want to show it to the world. Its rainy season, rainy season is the time when lost of things should be planted from rice and corn to vegetables and flowers. I am planting all, thus, everything is so messed up. Rainy season is also a season when there are weeds around and these weeds need to be cleaned.

A great surprise in my garden today. This first Monarch caterpillar of the year!
Penstemon's blooming season is just about over, but Black-eyed Susans continue to bloom in the background.

I love the habitat I've created. Seriously, if you don't have a native garden, you're missing out!

Long-headed Coneflower is starting to bloom:
Swamp Milkweed is blooming for the first time in my garden:
...and a male Monarch Butterfly was hanging around today.

That coneflower is nothing but sheer awesomeness! My swampweed is just getting past the pretty bloom stage. It has been a very difficult year with many of my critter friendly perennials due to the lack of rain. I do have an irrigation system, but it's simply not the same as real rain. To date I have seen only one monarch in my yard, as opposed to many I had at this time last year.
