    I took this because a neighbor has these things growing in their garden, and they are awesome. Super tall, long lasting and apparently bugs aren’t eating them. After some digging, found they are awfully named Spider Flowers. Beyond the name though, nothing strange going on. In fact as I write this, on 9/29 (yeah I…

    It was a strange Summer for gardening. Few things survived, despite generally OK weather. Too many rodents, bugs and basketballs terminated many plants this year. Some new black-eyed susans survived the relentless onslaught – and this bee hit the jackpot.

    Fun name to say. In a quest to find attractive perennials that won’t die easily or get eaten rapidly, various black eyed susans were planted last Fall. Or in Spring, I’m not sure. No matter. They are still getting eaten and worse, I underestimated their resilience when it comes to errant basketballs. Not many things…

    This hydrangea was planted when Noah was born – and as he hits 12, it might be the best year yet for this shrub. Though, I’ve read that the mild winter has allowed almost all hydrangeas to have spectacular blooms this year. Back to my point. Most bloomed in June. As I write this post…

    That’s it – just one large flower, before it flops or gets smashed with a basketball.

    Spotted on walk home from school.. does it belong to a Smurf? Nope, turns out its the remains of flowers that are up in pine trees, which are responsible for belching out that green dust. More info and visuals (than you ever needed) are here. Neat to see up close, but man do I hate…

    Last year we received a very nice potted arrangement of pansies from a neighbor. It was left to its own devices and now there are some tiny little pansies popping up around the patio. No complaints here, they are really adding a nice bit of color in every corner that .. is lacking. Speaking of…

    Not much more to say, just a unique tulip in the mix.

    Nope, not the galaxy. Just the shrub – having a stellar bloom this year. Last year, there was a brutal freeze that froze all the flower buds, and spring never seemed to arrive without these. Admittedly the photo above is a “stylized” photo from Google. The original is: And since there’s a galaxy that shares…
