Pretty iris, ladybug. Congrats on seeing your first hummer! You, too, Susan! I've wondered the same thing as you when the temps drop.

Thanks for all the nice comments on the pond. It's a project that keeps getting delayed because of this crazy weather. One good weekend and we could get it done. We are working on making the whole courtyard area a butterfly/hummingbird garden. They are already frequent visitors and I think we can attract a lot more. The pond can be seen from the diningroom window and we will really enjoy it.

Has anyone ever seen a tree Lantana? I had a great time yesterday meeting several DG members at the Memphis Botanical Garden plant sale and visiting several local nurseries. I bought a pair of these tree Lantana thinking they will be butterfly/humminbird magnets! I'll try to post a photo when I get them potted up. Here's a view of the pond area (before the pond was dug) from the dining room window. Imagine lots of butterflies and hummingbirds buzzing around.....
