Gorgeous Vicki. There isn't anything colorful around the new cottage. I miss that from the mobile home. It's mostly woods and lots of vines full of honeysuckle which smell great but not a lot of color. I can't afford to plant anything right now I I'll enjoy it through your pics.
Lovely! I am so enamored with the Kousa dogwood. Being from Georgia orginally, I grew up surrounded by the traditional dogwoods. But the "Kousa" ones seen more commonly around here have really won me over. This year they seem positively loaded with blooms - you can hardly see the leaves! Surprising how sad I felt for your dead luna moth. Poor pretty little moth. :(
wow, you have a kousa dogwood, i love it. a few of them grow on Garinish Island here in our village harbor. your peonies and your bearded iris is so much faster than mine.... your plants photographs are beautiful!
Barb -- when we first moved here, all my plants came from neighbors who gave me starts of things like daylilies and iris and such; maybe you'll find some nice folks with plants they'll share.
Brenda -- a nice thing about Kousa is that it doesn't get the anthracnose virus or whatever it is that's killing so many of our native dogwoods.
RNSANE -- you should see or cows -- they eat poison ivy with no evident effects.
Kat -- We are really good at growing healthy poison ivy, alas.

Your photos deserve a book. They are just gorgeous.

What lovely photos - all of them make me feel wonderful. Guess butterflies aren't affected at all by poison ivy!! Lucky critters!
o lovely especially the luna moth and the spice bush butterfly. -- barbara
Great photos, they're all so beautiful I don't think I could pick a favorite. The month of May sure is pretty in NC!
Mid may has lots of beauty to bring to your garden!!!! Lovely!!!

Everything is absolutely marvellous! Poor butterfly...
IT's a rainy day when I look through the window. But a turn of the head, and I have beautiful spring in your photos. Thank you.
Lovely images! You have some healthy looking poison ivy!
