Passionvine flower, updated photo of my caterpillar friend (wow he grows fast!), and two of my butterfly weed. The geometry of the buds and then the flowers is so symmetrical and beautiful. Please pardon the mini ants on the flowers… I’ve laid bait. Haha.

Found a tiny friend when I watered this morning. I am so honored this baby chose my incense passion vine to grow on! I am just so happy. I made the adult gulf fritillary happy with my zinnias so maybe they think I am a safe spot.

****Zone8b: Edward’s Plateau. Planted this 1-gallon Texas sage in early May. Did not expect all the rain since then… but this is the most it has bloomed in its 2 months in ground. I am proud of starting my native plant gardening journey!
