Swallowtail? I have not seen one like this before.

One more trip to get labels.

We're back from our Holiday. Experienced the 'Atlanta Blackout' and, on return, the 'Bomb Cyclone'. What an adventure! The greenhouse did its job and protected our tender plants, no power outages and the lights cycled as planned. I deep watered all the plants before leaving and most of them fared quite well during our 3 week absence.

Bee 🐝 visiting Brugmansia Painted Lady.

We are back from the National Iris Convention in Des Moines. An epic trip! We saw old friends, made new friends, visited beautiful gardens, talked to experts, and learned more about one of our favorite plants. If you don't belong to a plant society - consider joining - it's FUN. here are some of the iris that jumped out at us at the convention gardens.

We had a fun time at the Blacksmith Conference in Madison,GA this past week.

Finished setting up. How does it look?

Finished. Colored mason jars today. Now just need to decorate them all.

emperatures are great for working in the garden, the smoke from the forest fires, not so much.

It's the first really cool day in what seems like forever. i am working from the porch today - this instant bamboo fountain has been one of the best additions to the space this year. i just decided to tuck the plants in there 2 days ago!

Going to set up for the Garden Expo.

Heavy duty garden spinners.

Spinning spinning.

This is a hummingbird moth I caught on video while out on a morning hike.

Saturday morning music at the greenhouse.

I didn't know we'd be able to fit this crane. The tree service is doing a great job. Did I mention they drive those trucks as if they were Ferrari's?

we are getting nice, soft rain here today. tomorrow, the sick, heavily leaning tree by the garage will come out. hopefully it will not come completely out of the wet ground and fall on top of the garage today. The iris are going to be in peak this weekend. come by and visit with us, we will be here for our driveway sale Saturday and Sunday.

Please be safe. Flash flood warnings. The most rain I think I have ever seen here in twenty-some years.
