Lurking amungst the larkspur

St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) has just begun to open. (1)

Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas) is about to begin. The purple behind is a salvia that thinks it must be autumn. Boy is it about to be unhappy as the temperatures here are about to hit 90 degrees pretty steady now. (2)

A little perspective on the wild side of the backyard.

Visitors to the backyard

When you stand very still trying to get bee photos you get to see someone else taking a break. She did keep a close eye on me.
