Just a couple of pics of flowers from front beds.

My garden is more active today than it's been all year! I've seen four species of butterflies, including a female Monarch laying eggs on my milkweed, all kinds of bee activity, dragonflies, and a couple pairs of Swamp Milkweed Leaf beetles.

One more great find to top off the day in my native garden: A Monarch caterpillar!
Hehe! Certainly very active! Such exquisite and yet stunning details, @JBtheExplorer !

I've been thrilled with Purple Poppy Mallow. So glad I added it to my garden this year. Its color is so shockingly saturated that even my camera doesn't quite show it like it really looks.
One of the bees I was trying to photograph on the Purple Poppy Mallow decided to land on me. They do that quite often, actually.
Hoary Vervain with Penstemon and Spiderwort in the background.
One of my frogs sitting on the edge of my pond with Penstemon and Butterflyweed in the foreground.

Stunning! I want your camera and plants. That's all I want. Not very greedy! That colour is so striking. Is this a new camera or still the one you mentioned to me - Canon Powershot SX160 IS please?

Thank you. I need to google some more about the price. I will fast all the more. I don't need to buy any new plants as I don't have water to keep them alive!
It's getting pretty inexpensive at this point. Even the camera I've been considering in the future is starting to get pretty inexpensive. Might actually consider upgrading. Maybe next year.
