Grass


This was given to me by my SIL. She said it was "Pampas Grass." The plumes on this plant are silky and do not point up as I've seen on other plants that are called pampas grass. Whatever it is, it definitely needs cutting back. When the cooler weather ever gets here, I will have a lot of work to do. The weeds are the only thing surviving in this heat and no rain situation we are in right now. But it will have to wait for a cooler day!!

Moth in the Vine

Yesterday, Molly, told us about Joyce's butterflies on her blog http://jdebreuilsartandquilts.blogspot.com/. They were wonderful! Never saw so many buttlerflys on one flower. Today I found a moth on my Hyacinth Bean Vine. I almost didn't see him/her, except for the lighter colors. I lifted it off with a stick and it flew off into the sun.

Then I thought why not take a full length of the vine so you can see how well it's doing in this heat. Of course, I'm watering it every day since we have had no rain for a spell.
