Nature goes hard sometimes. I just spotted a goldenrod crab spider, which can change its color to camouflage itself while waiting for prey. Poor bee.

Goldenrod crab spider turned yellow on a yellow flower, holding a bee as its prey.

I was pleasantly surprised when my plant app told me there was hollyhock growing up against my iris patch. I think I tried planting one once and later considered it a failed experiment. I'm guessing this is a reseed - but I wasn't expecting it to be this cool […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A very ruffled hollyhock flower ranging from red to pink to white.

Some of my more "wild" flowers are starting to bloom. Palmer's penstemon (light pink) is a native plant I added this year. Maltese Cross (red) was a volunteer found growing in an unused pot. And another volunteer, dianthus I think (dark pink), was found near […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

One of my favorite times of year in the garden, when the irises start popping and the peony gets close. #bloomscrolling #flowers

My summer garden favorite, anise hyssop.It's not true anise but it smells just like licorice! I tried a Chelsea chop in the front to get a more layered appearance, those lower flowers are finally coming in. #bloomscrolling #flowers #gardening

Anise hyssop, stretching up more than six feet.

So it looks like Plant-tone works really, really well. How are this many rose buds even possible? I can't wait to see this bush in a couple of weeks. #gardening

Mini-rose bush with about a hundred buds on it.

The wild rabbit living under our shrub. I know these fellas can be major pests in the garden, but this one has been causing me no problems since I covered my new strawberry starts with netting. He/she crosses paths with me quite a bit when I'm out wandering […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A patch of iris I started 2 years ago from 3 pieces of tuber is going absolutely crazy this spring. Looking forward to seeing all of these pop! #gardening #bloomscrolling

A very prolific patch of purple bearded iris starting to bloom. Also an orange azalea still going strong.

Upon embarking upon a new adventure in Oblivion Remastered, my wife asked me if I planned on sticking with my rather tired tactics as a stealth archer, or if I was going to try something new. So I tried to name my new character in a way that hints at her overall strategy. #oblivion

A screenshot of my new Oblivion Remastered character "Stella Tharcher", who seems to have skills in both sneaking and bows.

The tulips have peaked and the creeping phlox is starting to pop. This is currently my favorite view in the garden. #bloomscrolling #gardening

There I am inside Final Fantasy, just minding my own business, when suddenly this guy appears and wants to fight.

Flowering cactus at my local conservatory with a couple of small "eyes". It reminded me of Cactuar in the Final Fantasy games.

I told my 10 year old daughter we should draw cats together today. She insisted that we also name them. #cats #art

This weekend I plan to take my first real gardening steps of 2025 and start some winter sowing - probably starting with some milkweed and catmint. I would like to push the plant count up dramatically and aim for a very dense cottage garden style. And here's […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Anise hyssop, phlox, butterfly weed, bee balm, iris, daylily, and lupin.

I'm stuck in the January doldrums and decided to post a photo from last year to remind myself of what's ahead in the new year. #gardening
