This dude flew by the back porch and hung out looking at the yard for a bit. So rad. My oldest and I are having a hard time identifying it. Also, 👀 the evening primrose patch entwined with their pink fuzzy bean lovers 🥰 #birdIDhelp #nativeplants #gardening

On the left is a red house pokes out and perched on the top of it is a predator bird of some kind. In front of that house is a patch of tall evening primrose with yellow flowers at the top. Wrapped around the stalks are vines of pink fuzzy beans.

A close up of that red house with the bird on top walking up. It appears to have a stripped tail

The Caladiums in the vertical planter are splendiferous 🌱 #leavesisplants #goodmorning #bloomscrolling

A picture from the top perspective of a vertical planter that has yellow and pink planters stacked and sitting in the corner of a porch. There are a bunch of giant leaves growing out of the top. They have hot pink and green leaves. They almost look like tie dyed leaves

The calm after the storm 🧶 #blueskyartshow #quiet #fiberart #yarn

A woven wall hanging hangs on a green wall. It is made of dark blue,hot pink, orange, and yellow yarn to represent an ocean and a sunset. Embroidered onto it is a golden metallic, half sun and purple swirly clouds over the top. It has yellow tassels and is hanging from a wooden stick that I found on the beach where we were living at the time.

When you are reading and look down to see….. (dramatic pause and equally dramatic symphony music) #toebeans #ilovemycat #caturday

Can you spot the fuzzy hiding dude? I believe that is a Virginia Tiger Moth caterpillar, and I think it’s the same one I saw the other day chatting with that beetle 🌱 its getting so big 🥹🥹 #bugs #pollinatorgarden #ispy

Three planters sit next to each other. The one on The left is purple and the one on the right is brown. The one in the middle is a cream color. Going out of that one is some calla lilies Hidden under a leaf in the brown planter is a white spiky fuzzy Virginia tiger moth caterpillar

My observations would lead me to believe that this lily pollen might, quite possibly, be dank 🌱 🐝 #pollinators #bloomscrolling

A big carpenter bee with the dark bottom and fuzzy yellow top displaying a single black dot, flies into the welcoming petals of a hot pink lily. If you look close the bee has evidence of already having soaked in the sweet orange pollen.

Today’s episode of Bugs in the Lilies. The smell had me wishing I could shrink down and nap in there too 🌱 #bugs #bloomscrolling

A bee rests inside of a hot pink blooming lily

I can’t stop starring at the underside of this caladium leaf #natureiscoolaf #caladiums

A caladium leaf from underneath with an almost tie die pattern of hot pink and dark green. I’m growing it at the top of a vertical planter, so I get to stand under it and stare

Look at how tall that one Lily plant in the middle is! It’s going to look crazy when it blooms. I’m 5’6” for some height reference, also it’s in a pot, but it’s still so tall!!!! 🌱 #gardening #tall #holycow

Three lily plants grow in a planter pot. The two to the left and right are short with big pink lily blooms. The one in the middle is way taller and has a bunch of lily buds on it. The pot is surrounded by a bunch green, Birds Eye trefoil (that I plan to rip out sometime, but right now it’s serving a good purpose by helping to fix my shitty soil). In the background behind a cow panel fence is a ton of wild carrot growing tall

Me, a lady with brown hair and bangs and big brown glasses, but you can only see par of my face and my hand. And some of my black dress. I’m standing next to that tall lily and it’s as tall as my bangs!!!

Good Morning!! It’s breakfast time for the bees 🐝 🌱 #pollinatorgarden #bloomscrolling #fairygarden #pollinatorweek

A purple echinacea flower is at center. There is one big black and yellow carpenter bee on it and another is flying to it, about to kick that other guy off. To the left of it is a yellow rudibeckia flower that has yellow petals with redish brown toward the center. There is another little bee on that flower with legs packed full of pollen. Blurry at the bottom left of the picture are tiny while Philadelphia fleabane flowers. Blurry in the background is a pink, a blue, and a red, little fairy house. The red on is tough to spot.
