That's how I realized that huge bug was near me - I could hear it hummmmmmmiiiinnnnnnngggggggggg. It actually scared me for a second, thank goodness I didn't swat at it, and then it was like a slow motion picture waiting for my brain to kick in to what I was actually seeing. I was so excited as I've never seen one here in MO, and from what've read, they are more prolific in less urban areas.

Does your couple come around often? Another question - do the bees bother your hummingbird feeder? Now that I have sedums, we have tons of bees around now which I don't mind, but would rather not draw them to sugared water if it'll bother them...???

The coneflowers are from my husband's parents' farm in IA. His mom died almost two years ago and they are from her garden. I am so happy that some are going to make it and are actually putting out quite a few new leaves. They are sentimental cause she loved her garden. I sprayed them with Configure and it seems to be helping. Yippee!
