Not much blooming at the moment, but my Western Ironweed has starting cranking out the flowers. I love the purple in my garden!

Also, saw this guy flitting around my compost pile this morning while I was snapping pics. Love the wing pattern.

The rudbeckias have started blooming as well as the blue ruellia. I had another shot of the rudbeckias but they looked very wilted, so decided not to post that pic! LOL

Do you see the gulf fritillary butterfly laying her eggs on my passi? She was very busy yesterday morning when I was trying to snap her pic.

Also found one lone cat on my passi. I was trying to keep him hidden so the wasps didn't find it.
