Phlowers – What’s In My Garden?

On By TimelessladyIn Phlowers

In spring, my garden is a blank slate as the daffodils push above the soil’s surface, where they have slept away in the summer, winter, and autumn. It’s never unexpected, but always still amazing when August displays a thick jungle of flowers in the place where blooming began sparsely in March.

I haven’t taken part in the Lens-Artist Challenge for quite a while. I was drawn in by the title of the challenge. I am a bit late, but still happy to take part in Challenge #311.

Today as I was photographing the flowers I was surrounded by Black Swallowtails sipping from the Butterfly Bush and other flowers in the yard. I decided, since they use my fennel as host plants, and I help them out by raising them in butterfly houses on the porch, they too are growing in my garden.

    1. The Monarch Butterflies, in fact, all the butterflies, are not as plentiful this year. There are a few now. I have six Monarch caterpillars on Milkweed leaves in the butterfly house now. I have hope they will do well, they are growing steadily.

  6. I am glad to have inspired you to join in! And beautiful, beautiful flower you have. Loved that you brought butterflies as well – you are the first one to do that. And butterflies are said to be flowers with wings.
