Look at my post again, I added a close-up.

I have a friend with a good eye who thinks about what blooms when. The parts I do all myself are a jumble of whatever I love whenever I find it in a nursery or box store. Both area nice but this is right next to the house and patio so it's pleasant to have a little more organized approach.

It's so nice to have friends that have an eye for gardening. I am constantly asking my girl friends what plant and also gain tips from them. It's just so enjoyable --gardening, it's the weeding I really detest!

300 million years ago, dragonflies were as large as seagulls. Now that would be frightening.

All the fossil evidence points to it. Except for size, ancient dragonflies were almost identical to modern ones.

They must have been beautiful.

when I was a child I was afraid of dragonflies....I thought they were alien vehicles.

I got over it.
