These are the first ones I've seen. But we've been putting in more native flora the past few years. The beebalm took over half the garden pots somehow. We also like amaranth, and that stuff just ends up everywhere.

Mainly I love the dragonflies. Helps with the perpetual mosquito issues here.

summary:
After a few thousand years in the reaper business, for Min Yoongi, death is just a job. That is, until one careless mistake turns his world upside down. Now he's stuck with a handsome doctor who refuses to die, an eager apprentice who asks too many questions, and a mystery that might just be all of their undoing.

I love how wildlife friendly gardening fits neatly with my laziness and hatred of soulless pristine lawns.

I love how the ghosts of my summer flowers remain throughout winter, breaking up the visual starkness of winter's grayscale landscapes.

And my laziness helps feed overwintering birds.

Jungkook releases Seven and goes out to celebrate with Namjoon, sure that his crush is long behind him. He should have known his instincts would always prioritize Namjoon over everything, including his own self-preservation.

so lush! I love it all but especially the beebalm.

I'm hoping to have a bloom explosion here soon too, even though the garden is still very much in development! It's so exciting and inspiring to see what's happening in everyone else's.

What’s blooming today? #Beebalm

We really need some sunshine around here. My annual seedlings seem to have all stalled out. Forecast is calling for more rain the next several days. We’ve had enough!!
