I was worried the B Garden was going to be a bust this year after Blossom and friends basically mowed it to the ground...twice...back in the early spring. Thankfully it survived and is really beautiful right now. I did a video tour this morning. Besides being here, that's really the best way to see everything. Well, almost everything. Here are a few pictures of some things that I missed.
I think this same butterfly has been here for almost two weeks. It's not a monarch, but still quite pretty. I've wondered if she's laying eggs on the milkweed as I'm pretty sure that's what I'm seeing and I'm even more sure that I haven't seen a monarch yet.
We added a second purple martin house last month. No one has moved in, but at least they know there is more room to expand. They have been very busy this summer.
Here is a link to the video tour. For some reason it won't let me embed it here directly like normal. It's worth a watch :-).

A good 'pruning' probably HELPED the B garden flourish like it is!
They just helped you out! The garden is beautiful1 My Milkweed is just about ready to bloom, I mowed it all down early last spring:)
That all looks beautiful! Your butterfly is a Fritillery of some kind. Yay for the second Martin house. I was thinking that I need to get one too. There's finally a pair nesting up at the wetlands very near me and I've had a couple show up during fall migration and hang out for a few days.
Your garden is lovely beyond measure!
gorgeous garden views!!
I aspire to have a B Garden like yours.
