Sedum with a friend

I have some more photos to proof... but I just had to throw this one on first... check out this cosmos I got at Holly's RU.. it's got to be 10 foot tall... I was going to take a photo from the computer room window.. but the bees are nesting right below the window... sorry the fuzzy one from the ground will have to do for now

Oh my gosh that is just crazy, Guiness Book of World Records???

LOL no kidding... look at this creepy one I found a couple of days ago on my deck.. I put it in the ID forum

self seeded LLB

depressing seeing these as pretty as they are

my hot lips

tarantula???
Yes a starling

We have those huge spiders here this time of year.
We call them "huge garden spiders" I find them on plants in the garden.
Great webs that are classic in shape

didn't get an ID yet... yes the web is perfect

nice allison

here is a pic of kniphofia - not real impressed - first bloom ever

a bud out of focus on the new march till frost magnolia

new growth on the coral bark maple

look close at the bumbler covered in pollen

and the whole bush

Jen pretty DLs and sedum. Mine are still green here. I need to try another SAC. Mine was in a pot waiting for planting and got drowned this spring I think.

Crazy cosmos, cute hummer, and a really creepy spider Allison. Love the big "tooth" of hot lips.

Bill I tend to agree about torch lilies. They are nice when they first open, but the ratty spent blooms make me cringe before the flower is half way done. The hummers loved them tough. They also took up a lot of space for a bloom that did not make me smile for very long.

sedum getting ready to open

this hydrangea tree is covered on bees - you can hear them from 15 ft away

sweet autumn is very close to opening - there is a real nice brass tower under there

volunteer petunia's in the front walkway
