How cool that you got, was it 3 or 4 swallowtails in one photo?Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651081377378962304.post-40119686791179035132010-09-21T09:27:08.458-04:002010-09-21T09:27:08.458-04:00Like you, I don't really welcome September'...Like you, I don't really welcome September's arrival, even though it's usually brings such beauty. Summer's departure is always sad for me. But I see your garden is full of skippers, butterflies and bees, just like mine. It has been a banner year for them here, and I've added many new varieties of "guests" to my list. Yesterday I saw my first preying mantis, and was thrilled till I saw him eat one of the skippers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651081377378962304.post-59895104950158134552010-09-20T23:06:39.695-04:002010-09-20T23:06:39.695-04:00So many lovely blooms in your garden, Jan!

It's hard to believe that September is already half over, but it's so hot here that it still seems like summer.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651081377378962304.post-21035751613488317892010-09-20T11:22:55.871-04:002010-09-20T11:22:55.871-04:00Such spectacular flowers and insects.
