July Flowers

The dry weather has taken its toll and the aphids have taken their two-cents worth, but plants continue to grow and put on flowers. It is a joy to walk through and see what next has begun to bloom.

If you look carefully in the picture below you can see one of the many tiger-striped catepillars living on the Dusty Miller. I don't know what variety of butterfly they will become, but if I figure it out I will post it here. The most recent photos start on page 14 of the photobucket album.
