Beth's Patch ~ Gardens

  A few pictures taken recently in the gardens.

Coral honeysuckle on side yard trellis in Mid-May


The snapdragons have been beautiful this year.  They overwintered from last summer.


This Black Swallowtail overwintered in the yard as a chrysalis and eclosed on 5/23.

Snapdragon close-up.

This year i bought some Dahlias to plant in the gardens

Another overwintering chrysalis in the yard was a spicebush swallowtail that eclosed on 5/25.

Found a Monarch caterpillar on Swamp milkweed on 6/1.  (the marks on the leaves are scars from me pulling the stems into a round support)



Finding the first of the year Spicebush swallowtail eggs on 6/8.
