i put some zinnias in the ground because i saw some while mom and i were in lake wales. they caught my eye because the butterflies seemed to be very familiar with them. i know... as if everyone doesn't know that zinnias are extremely common. yawn! well, not for me. i've actually never had them in my garden... i'm not sure why. but all of a sudden i had to have them.
i barely had them in the ground and this white peacock began sipping.
this little bee flew into the picture for its very own photo op ... i think its see-through wings are especially adorable.
again... even while i was putting one of these in the ground this white peacock and a cloudless sulphur weren't the least bit shy. who could ask for better than the butterflies to notice freshly planted flowers and make themselves right at home?
that is SO COOL that you got your heart's desire even as you were planting! talk about a fast harvest!
ReplyDeletethanks for my personal tour of your new garden nook. i enjoyed it.
Hi Meems,
ReplyDeleteI see that we planted the same flower this weekend. I love zinnia they are very colorful and as you can see butterflies and bees love them. They do have a problem zinnia are the cheesecake of food for snails, so keep an eye on your plants.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting!
ReplyDeleteYou will love your zinnias....I keep growing more kinds every year, as they are kind of addicting. :-)
Nice butterfly pics!
mlm: glad to have visitors in my garden... wish you could have stayed longer.
ReplyDeleterusty: those pesky snails... i think they like every flower i plant. thanks for the warning.
connie: welcome. so far, i'm adoring the zinnias.
I won't have zinnias until next summer. I will have to content myself to visit your warm garden until then. Love the butterfly pictures.
