BES Vine
Here's the mailbox in the garden....
Disregard the condition my condition is in.....(garden that is)
What to do when a Bird Feeder really isn't a Bird Feeder because the design was poor.
Dahlias
The Rex Begonia in the middle is what I am amazed with....It was a small rooted piece that Ms. Doris gave me at the beginning of Spring.
Ahhh, Autumn Joy...
Do these bloom the entire season? Ballon Flower
Now for the 'You will not believe this.'Last night one of the Chrysalis turned a dark green....9 - 14 days after the Chrysalis forms it begins to change to black....then transparent....
then the sides will split opposite the gold necklace and the Monarch will emerge in less than a minute. It's been 9 days today!

AMAZING!!!
I love what you did with the bird feeder, great idea!
Those chrysalis' are just amazingly cool! They are just pretty from caterpillar all the way up to butterfly. I can't wait to see them as they emerge.
Hi Darla~~ I'm anxiously awaiting your new arrival. Love your mailbox and the adjacent border looks great. And the sedum planter is way cool.

Wow!!! I cannot believe the miracle of birth, thnka you for letting me share on the arrival of your new Monarch.
It is completely amazing! How lucky you are to watch it all unfold. Thanks for sharing with us...truly a miracle.

It's lots of fun to watch those butterflies Darla.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
The birdfeeder turned planter and mailbox are so cute. You are one clever gardener. That first shot of the Blackeyed Susan vine is great. Is that a hanging planter you have it in? So cool about the chrysalis, can't wait to see the baby Monarchs!
"Chrysalis" is such a beautiful sounding word. And a pretty wondrous thing, too.
Wow! I loved the vine, the bird feeder (used as a planter) and practically everything you've posted. Will return to check more..

Your flowers look great, too. Happy Labor Day weekend!
That's amazing Darla!
Awesome!! Your garden is beautiful and I am amazed with the photos of the butterflies. Thanks for sharing. :)

Forgot to mention. I planted a few of the white hibiscus seeds you gave me. Three of them sprouted and are covered with beautiful blooms. I gave one to my mom and I planted one on each side of my parking lot. It's definitely an eye catcher. Thank you.

How cool, Darla! I would be turbocharged to witness this too! I love how the wing pattern is visible, still all folded up. Nature at its magical best! :-)

I would think "over the top" is putting it mildly. Would love to be there when the Monarchs emerge!
Looks great. I have a bird feeder like that. I agree it's a poor design. Now I know what to do with mine.
Get pics of new baby.
That is so awesome, Monarchs are just the best! Love the pictures. Miss Bloomers
first of all....your gardens are not in any such bad shape of any way kind or form!!! I admire you...my garden hero...your season is so long and you still go go go...on top of everything else you do....the chrysalis is just a miracle unfolding before your eyes...It is incredible!!! what happens when is is done? will you let it go?
I'd be over the top too!
Your gardens are beautiful. Can't wait to see pictures of the new butterfly.
How awesome! thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Your blooms are lovely, as always, too. That Rex sure did take off!
What healthy happy plants! Is your weather a little cooler now? Loving this mailbox!
