Baptisia + sunset light = incredible colors

One view of the back garden from the window. Amsonia, wild geranium and baptisia blooming. The bowl is temporarily off the bird bath base and it gave me a better look at the plants.

Walking through the garden in May.

Most catmints you can buy are hybrids that don't produce fertile seed. This is Nepeta subsessilis, that I specifically sought out because I like the tea it makes. It also has the drawback of a fertile species.

Typical mint.

Beautiful roadkill-scented pawpaw flowers, hoping to attract the local flies and beetles that are into that.

They're surprisingly fragile for imitation carrion, and many get knocked off by wind or over enthusiastic pollinators.

Don't know what mushroom this is. Kinda looks like a morel but none of their preferred trees are nearby.

Cherries Jubilee baptisia and John Clayton honeysuckle

2025 garden. Great year for my peonies. Not so great for my iris.

Things are starting to look pleasingly purple around here
