May has seen more than her share of stormy weather. My flower gardens were often a muddy mess, but most of the flowers fared well from the inclement weather.

| An Eastern Black Swallowtail checks out the Lantana |
 |
| Can you see the tiny Skipper on this bloom? (Wish I could remember the name of this plant- my amnesia is kicking in) |
 |
| Lovely Red Pentas |
 |
| A busy Bumble Bee buzzed from flower to flower |
 |
| He is particularly fond of the Foxgloves (I am too!) |
 |
| Buzzzzzzz |
 |
| My Asiatic Lily is now blooming and the size of it has quadrupled since last year! Time to transplant this one. |
 |
| My first Hibiscus plant. The huge, gorgeous blooms convinced me to bring it home. |
 |
| I planted a few Double Tiger Lily bulbs back in February. They're now gorgeous! Wish their blooms would last longer! |
 |
| I love this shade of pink. Pink Verbena. |
 |
| The first of the Liatris Spicata plants has bloomed. Several stalks are coming up and will soon bloom as well. |
 |
| Several of these tiny insects (some sort of small bee?) are creeping about on the Gaillardia blooms |
 |
| The young and the old, side by side |
Gorgeous flowers! I love the butterflies and the bees. Have a great week, Susan!
ReplyDeleteSusan, you have so many lovely blooms! Is that purple one a Pickerel Weed? Maybe in that family? The swallowtail is such a beauty. Very nice set!
