Patch of #nasturtiums attracts many beneficial insects & pollinators.
Fab companion plant for your #EdibleGarden or ornamental garden. Leaves & flowers are #edible.
Grown from mixed, tapped 2022 seeds.
Giving it another go with an Abutilon picsoni "Thompson's Maple". I dug the mother of all holes, amended the soil like heck, positioned the root ball, and back-filled. Followed by repeated watering. It's somewhat sheltered by an old Mock Orange. #gardening#perrenials#flowers#California
First place in Best Alcohol Ink Painting contest! Blown yellow flowers on black. Yellow represents warmth, cheerfulness & increased mental activity. Orange represents happiness, creativity & success. A winning combination.
The male has golden hair and a yellow face, the female has a black face and a whiter coat.
They both have a very long tongue, a black and white striped abdomen, and a noisy buzz. Seen together feeding on a vitex tree - and occasionally getting into an argument - at @cowboycatranch
My neighbour is very elderly. Her son comes three times a week to kill everything that dares to try and live in her garden. This year so far he has sprayed weedkiller twice and today he arrived with a flame gun. He absolutely hates my side of the fence and constantly complains about "weeds". I think he is the weed. #flowers#wildlife#birds#bees#desert
