They are hummingbird feeders but I haven't filled them up in a while but we do get hummingbirds often. And all my melons and cantaloupe I pulled because I put them in the wrong place and they didn't do well lol but doesn't mean i won't but some melons or watermelon plants still, just the ones I grew from seed didnt do well but I can always try again, point is not to keep making the same mistakes lol and thank you!
There's a moth I saw at the gas station that was very beautiful. Also the neon pink of the begonia. the purple bells of the clematis are starting to flower more, they usually dont have more than a few each year, so far. one of the later yellow gladiolas, and a pink gerbera with two more flower shoots coming up. The pink and yellow flower is a Pacific Ocean dahlia about to be In full flower, I already deadheaded it once and this is its second time flowering since we bought it earlier this year at the nursery. The red sunflower is either an autumn glory or queen red but I'm leaning more to the autumn glory. They east side of the backyard and side is where we put our fruit trees. Just a peach with the red fruit and a fruit cocktail tree with the greener ones. However the plant with all the green berry fruits are actually a local strawberry bush and those are seed pods that turn purple and crack open with red berries and the smallest of them is a dogwood. And the last is our cooking pear tree on the
The flowers are from the cotton which tend to be different from time to time. Also I started gardening by bonsai-ing and growing a little bit o'herb on the side. I've slowed down with the bonsai to make way for a few more things but its still an art I very much practice, I'm trying to bonsai a white oak and sweet gum as of right now. But the bonsai I've had for the longest is the ficus. The small one in the blue rectangle pot is actually a cutting from the mother focus in the red pot. The serissa and Fukien tea I've shown I also had as bonsais, as well as these 3/4 plants in the ones above. The tall juniper, the smaller shaped one, and the privet(ligustrum?) were all at once in bonsai pots but I wanted them all to get bigger! Plus it helped them live lol but I'm still good at bonsai. The last here is some purple carrots I pulled today as well as some onions, I probably should have left the carrots but I love there shape and it makes me feel good to harvest something even if it's a little soon but I need more patience with some things lol and our smallest potato grown!
These are some pictures of last year of different life. The bald eagles, the lizard, and the alligator resting with the turtles were all pictures taken at brookgreen gardens. The rest are random fungi, and moths, a slug, mating snails(or fighting idk), and a spider picture with just flashed used while it was raining. The mushrooms around here grow quite big as well.
Ooh before I forget, the 4/4th plant above a couple post up is with an Angelica blue or blue owl juniper, one of the few bluer plants you can grow in the south.
These are just some scapes of the area I live around, the large live oaks with the Spanish moss are of course at brookgreen, along with the path with Dionysus(golden) at the end, some are of down are road in the winter, and some are at pawleys island where there's a creek/marsh on one side and the island with the Atlantic on its other side. none of our pictures are altered I can't stress that enough, especially the swirly skies there just so beautiful and those were taken just outside the house. And a couple blocks up our road is all saints parish with a graveyard thats nice to walk through for peace and quiet and plant life, especially in the spring with all the flowering trees.
Love all your photos. The moths and insects are outstanding and it is really nice to see the place you live which is very different to my part of the world.
To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.
These are from either last year or the year before. The pink, whites, peach of the gladiolas. The right yellow flowers of the prickly pear. The pink flowers on the woody stem is a pinxterbloom azalea I took from the woods and is about 4-5 feet tall now. The white and lavender flowers are shooting from one of the host as and has a very beautiful smell. The purple stemmed flower is what I call a water or pond lily, i have a couple now and we have some in the pond in front and the little pond in back. The allium was grown from an onion we bought from the store and even the flowers smelled onion-y lol. We had planted an onion earlier this year and it turned into 4 pretty good sized onions, which was bigger than the original, since I'm knew to vegetable growing everything shocks and amaze
Wonderful pictures yet again. One or two plants are familiar and grow here in the UK but most are new and very exotic to us. You are also a very talented photographer and have an artistic eye.
