Caterpillars, butterflies, birds, other stuff

 Buckeye butterfly and caterpillar... The cat is using agalinis purpurea as a host plant.

These treefrog tadpoles are too cute...

Wild sunflower with bee and goldfinch...

Clearer pic of goldfinch.

 Fresh coat of paint on the house...

I really like this combination... even though the hibiscus wants more water than it's gettin, and the snake cotton is perfectly adapted to the droughty sandhill environment...

Trippy... I wish I'd been able to get more pics of this particular hawk moth...

datana caterpillars decimating sumac.

 Swallowtails and salvia...
I think these guys are tigers... seeing a lot of black tiger swallowtails this year....

Cooler temps

The temps have broke, we're even getting a bit of precip... the plants are happy...

White swamp hibiscus with snake cotton background.... don't you love it when the plants match?

 One of the crinums I've collected...

Took this spigelia pic this morning... 

 These hawk moths have been coming in the house at night to help me watch tv... I like them better in the garden...


 I like having fabaceae in the garden... Partridge pea and sesbania.


 2 more fabaceae, clitoria and centrosema


 Of course, the rain came too late to help the corn... Had to pick it and hang it to dry a little early, as it was sprouting inside the ears on the stalk...
 Got some nice height on the corn....

Life ain't nuthin but a daydream...

Li'l gray treefrog...
