In this picture are Moonlight Caladiums (which I love and think are so beautiful), Pam Puryear's Pink Turk's Cap, Oakleaf Hydrangea, and gingers.
- Blake and Mr. H came for the weekend. We swam all day and then went in to Brenham for the Hot Nights Cool Tunes show. Fun
- I saw a Zebra Longwing butterfly in the Orchard on Sunday! I've never seen one before, very rare here. I couldn't believe it. I tried to get a picture, but they move really fast.
- The butterflies were everywhere. So many different varieties. Beautiful creatures. I watched them throughout the weekend. I find it very entertaining to sit on the porch and watch the garden. It is alive with movement.
- I moved a Nicotiana from the path where a seed had sprouted over to one of the shady beds in the Star Garden. I moved some Columbine seedlings from the path over to a shade bed in the Star Garden. Next spring will be pretty when all the Columbine bloom.
- I deadheaded zinnias for a long time. I have a lot of Zinnias growing. I throw all the flowers into the flower beds so they will reseed.
- I cut back Lantana around the pool, it gets really leggy and out of control. It blooms better if it is trimmed, I assume it is because it blooms on new growth, but I'd have to look it up to see if that's true.
- I watered her and there.
- I fertilized a few things: Henry's Garnet Sweetspire in the Shade Garden, Striped Beauty Canna, Frost Proof Gardenia.
- My Ma Huang seeds have sprouted! I planted them two weekends ago. Ma Huang is ephedrine. I hope they make it. This will be interesting.
- That's about all I did since we had guests.
Gorgeous! I am becoming very partial to white flowers and plants.
