Thursday in the Garden

A pencil sketch of the sky flower.

And now the photograph of the sky flower. It is a pretty delicate plant.

Bug alert, Bug alert, does anyone know what it is.

The Tickseed blooms in the spring.

The Cape Honeysuckle on the other hand blooms all year, so do the roses.

They smell good too.

Whirling Butterflies.

Amaryllis.

And last but not least Purple Queen. ~ATCAD

I have no idea what that bug is... but I hope it's tasty!

Such pretty flowers. We really like that first purple one.

Gorgeous flowers...I'm so jealous you grow amaryllis outdoors!

Your bug reminds me of a stink bug; however, they don't have those huge back legs (?)

At first glance, I thought it was a cricket...but on steroids! Sorry, don't know what it is. I've never heard of a sky flower before, but I really like it!

Well, it's a beetle-type for sure because of the pinchers. Take a pic and send it to your nursery. I know you must have one!!! Amaryllis, LOVE those. We had them, too, in LA.
