I forgot to post this yesterday or the day before, or whichever of the cold, crappy, rainy days that we’ve had for nearly a week, but my toad lilies are starting to bloom. I don’t remember whether I actually bought them at Lowe’s to plant here, or whether I just bought them very close to the time we made an offer on the house, but I know they sat in their pots, waiting for closing so I could plant them here. I also potted the Virginia snakeroot to bring over, but squirrels or something dug it up. A few survived, though. Anyway, toad lily. Not great…it was getting dark, and it was half raining.

It was sunny when I got home, and although I didn’t see any MLBS (one, possibly two later), I did have three Monarchs. Two girls and a boy. This is the boy.
