too cloudy .. but I had to try

momma & baby grackle

even feeding the baby.. still looks evil

Randy wants to know if we can write them off on our taxes as dependents

Nice birds, Allison. I love the last one. Sorry Randy, I don't think they will count those, no sense of humor!

Its still rainy and damp.
Flowers look better in the sun but It doesnt look like we will see it for another day.
Here is this AM'spix.
Begonia pendula yellow
Perennial snapdragons
Nice caladium and coleus combo,Other combos are a big dissapointment.
Shirly poppy wet.
sidwalk containers with dreary slug eaten plants.

Love the color on the per. snaps----Shirley poppy is pretty even in the rain!

I'll try my best to catch up. Or just jump in!

So many great shots!

Bill, your Blue Shadow looks like it has some reverting branches. Mine does too - I'll be pruning them off.

Here's a False Potato Beetle from last week.

Nice shot!

Thanks. A bit closer. Cringe time!

New Tokajer bloom.

I didn't know there was a perennial snapdragon. (Runs off to check PlantFiles.)

thx for the heads up on blue shadow - i was not sure if that was just too much sun. i'll give it a close inspection i think it is one whole branch

Shirley, do you the name of the rose you thought you had lost (5:39 pm yesterday)? It is beautiful - my favorite color!

JI - not sure which.

View across the pool last week.

Hagley Hybrid and Abundance.

Your pool is so clean and pretty! Nice! (If only one were hot enough to want a pool ....)

Silmakivi in Coppertina.

Thanks. Delphinium starting.

Abundance.

Asiatic.

Tokajer and friend.

love that Silmakivi in Coppertina combo Victor!!

Pixie..... I'm glad that you now know what you're getting into with that Echie. I think it's a fantastic color, even if it does fade to a lighter one.

Thanks for the Thoughts Robin! I'll definitely stick with planting it there then. That's a combo that I've not done before, so it should be interesting! that yellow clem is great. Is is tangutica?

Allison... such lovely pictures, I couldn't possibly pic a favorite.

Victor.... How on earth did you get that beetle to pose so well for such a great close up shot?!?!

Thanks Shelly. He was smiling.

Hydrangea are liking this weather.

Closer.

Prairie Princess.
