Today in the garden I came across the jewel-like chrysalis of a variegated fritillary (Euptoieta claudia)…a beautiful surprise, and only the second one I’ve ever seen. 🌱

Seen in the yard this evening, an ailanthus webworm moth (Atteva aurea) on a purple passionflower (Passiflora incarnata).
This moth is not native to my area (it’s originally from the tropics), but it’s not considered invasive. I enjoy seeing their stylish, Marimekko-like coloring 🌱

Mi sembra strano seminarli in primavera se hanno bisogno di 4 settimane di stratificazione fredda (a meno che non si faccia la stratificazione in frigo).
Lì dice semina primavera. Io, per non saper né leggere e né scrivere, qualche seme lo metterei sotto terra già da ottobre…
Poi vedi tu eh!

Gaillardia aestivalis and Stokesia laevis (white form)— two North American plants that aren’t native to my precise area, but are found in neighboring states. I think of them as native plants in gardening terms (some would disagree). 🌱

I planted this mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) in the spring of 2020… six years later, here‘s its first bloom. Worth the wait! 🌱

Wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia), a very vigorous native plant that has self-seeded all over my yard.
I counted 18 bees and wasps on this one plant and I probably missed a few… it’s also a host plant for the summer azure butterfly, and I see more of those every year.

This month the most prominent plant in our yard is butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), almost all of it self-seeded. I’ve been letting its seedlings grow wherever they pop up, and now there are at least 10 of them in bloom in various places in the yard. 🌱

This young volunteer redbud flowered for the first time this year— producing only these two flowers. I find trees and shrubs with a few scattered blooms to be just as beautiful in their own way as a plant covered in blooms. 🌱
