Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on June 27, 2025, 5:09 pm, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin, I haven’t seen a lightening bug in this insect desert for some years! It is disturbing! I do like the Albutilons! The Heliotrope is gorgeous, as is the Spiderwort snd Foxglove. Sad one nice as poke varieties.

Sorry to hear, that you've seen none, so far. I wonder if the anoles, or some other insect eater, are nabbing them.
