Poor little guy. I found him this afternoon, but when I came back a few hours later, in his place was a Psillopsis assassin bug. 🙁 He was on my expensive ‘Soulmate’ milkweed. I’ll add a picture of the culprit if I think of it later.

Here’s the culprit…Psillopsis barberi.

Probably the only morning glory I’ll see in my yard this year, thanks to Charlotte, and it’s not even one I planted. It’s the oak leaf morning glory that I left growing on the volunteer corn by the fence.

In good news, a beautiful male Spicebush!

Technically yesterday, but I finally cleaned out the patio flowerbed. Heliopsis in one bed, coneflower in another, and I extended the bed beside the patio so I could put the rest of the hostas in.

I just ordered some heuchera, astilbe and a foxglove to put in there as well. Going to be fucking hot; hopefully theyll arrive alive.

I think the mystery tree is just another goddamned hydrangea.  Meh.

Surprise lilies are going to bloom. Meh.

P’s phlox came out just fine!
