When I got up this morning, I planted the Rudbeckia that had arrived yesterday. It looks pretty droopy, even after a good watering and a few hours of waiting. It’s pretty tough stuff, so hopefully it’ll make it.

I put in a few “found” boneset (at least I’m pretty sure it’s boneset!) It drooped at first, but perked up after a few hours (and water).

I moved the living yellow honeysuckle over with the probably dead one.

Planted “found” morning glory from the topsoil we had delivered. I looked at bindweed seedlings, and they’re different, so theoretically, this is morning glory. It’s potted, sitting below the lilac, which looks boring now that the flowers are gone, so it’s a living trellis. EDIT: 2014-06-10: Some have a second set of leaves, so I was able to ID as Ivy-leaved Morning Glory, Ipomoea hederacea. A weed, but butterflies and bees do use it, and it’s not like it’s going to escape from the pot into a flower bed, so meh. If it seeds itself, it’ll just get mowed anyway.

I cleaned up and propped the tansy Onje is trying to kill as best I could, then filled in bare spots with marigold, coneflower and “yellow flowers” from the rectangular bed. They’ll be happier in full sun anyway,  once they recover from being moved.

Moved the little petunia that was growing in an expansion gap on the patio to the Honeysuckle Horseshoe.  It deserved to live.

Saw an Ebony Jewelwing male this morning, but he wouldn’t pose, so here’s a pretty Hackberry emp.

Scudderia love those lilies! Three.

Tomato!

Bishops flower.

Milkweed is doing well so far.

Butterfly bush (light purple) has buds.

I don’t remember planting these, but apparently,  I did.

Saw my first tortoise beetle! Actually two, since they eat sweet potato and related plants…like morning glory.
