Thanks konkereteblond, I do have a paved pathway to it, you just can't see it!!! I also have a chaise lounge, and my gingers and my brugs all provide shade as well as my neighbors redbud tree over me. My middle back yard is tidy since we have a small pond and a deck off the back door. But my wild gardens are just that WILD!! Natives and orphans, and roses mixed in the lot!!! I even grow my tomatoes in my roses, they love it there, and do quite well. I have about 10 baby swallowtail cats right now on my bronze fennel, second bunch! I have monarchs, and gulf frits on my passifloras too. The frogs love the pond, and the little fish(goldfish) love the tadpoles(newly hatched ones anyway.
Mosquito hawks or dragonflies, I have seen such vivid colors. And of course pesty mosquitos in the evening unfortunately. But it is my wild kingdom, and I love it!!! Here is a picture of my tidy part of the back yard. My front yard is native and for the birds and critters too, especially hummers!!!
