Have I mentioned that my garden is a butterfly garden. I am increasing in butterfly friendly plants every year. I look forward to seeing the magical creatures, as well as birds and hummingbirds. I hope to have an ever-increasing amount of critters......lizards, geckos, frogs, toads, but please...mosquitos.....leave us alone!

Crazy Texas Weather


My lovely sweet smelling blue basil

Rue, Fennel and Dill (with Turk's cap in the background)
Monarch in the making
Henry Duelburg SalviaAfter the rain

Bulbine

Gomphrena
Just because we have crazy weather doesn't mean we can't work in the garden. The pictures taken in the rain and afterwards were a little more colorful than in full sun. What a pleasant surprise. I was able to work between showers......planting some gomphrenas, a bulbine, a Henry Duelberg salvia, a lovely basil (I love the smell!), and some dill, fennel and rue for the butterflies.
