Don't remember if I posted this one before. This is Autumn Minaret. All done blooming now. Last one for tonight.

love all the coleus Karen!!!

ok so much for thinking the bear was gone... sigh

and getting worse by the hour this morning... have to find out what the hundreds of these cats are... and destroying our twig dogwoods

Good Grief what distructive beasts they all are

no kidding... I told Randy keep the camera close by in case the theory of bad things happen in 3's .. LOL

Ouch!

Oh no Allison! I'm so sorry, look how they bent that pole!!!
Cats almost look like monarch butterfly but kinda of late for them.

What do Viceroy cats look like?

Like this:

I put a photo in the ID forum just in case they are butterflies... no answer yet

meow Victor.. LOL

Thanks, Allison! A shame about the damage that bear did. Glad I don't have one at my place. They sure cause a lot of damage!

I don't know what kind of cats those are myself.

LOL, Victor!

Karen

Oooh, hungry bears--they are destructive!

still no answer on what they are... I am getting ants in the pants... want to kill em if they are bad

Are they actually eating ?
or just gathering?

my dogwood is being destroyed

fuzzy picture but you can get the idea

That bears sure was desperate to get at the birdseed.
Are those cats kinda small?

Kill em

The cats on my rose of Sharon have been persistent - even with BT. Have to keep applying it.

ok thanks

oh well.. Claypa just told me they aren't true cats.. closer to wasp larvae ... BT won't work

good luck with the cats, and the bear (ugh, looked like a nice sturdy pole too!)

yes it was

Darn bear!

So would you like a picture to make you giggle Allison?
This is Isabella showing me her tongue. She's 7 months now and what a cute little monkey!
