Quill! Thank you for the visual AND gardening experience!

Because, the quality of the photos, the colour in the photos, the models in the photos --butterfly!--- are super!

Because , the health and beauty of the plants themselves, the plant combinations, the ornamental/decorative placement of the plants, is just a session of fine gardening lesson!

Thank you!!

P.S.

Quill, if you wish to have a similarly thrilling experience like mine with your photos today, just go here:

Hello again -

gorgeous photos, i had to double take on the sunflower photo as it looks almost fake, the way the clouds frame the flower. brilliant that you managed to capture the butterfly on the echinacea too.

keep them coming!

Quill,

I don't have to add anything new to my previous comments, because I would repeat myself..

But now I have this very important gardening question : In your very first photo of this post (garage doors), near your Mail Box, you have planted this gorgeous purple grass, which is also the great model in one of your close up photos. Tell me , please, do you know its botanical name?? Because I'm really interested in it, although I don't feel like growing grasses in my garden in general... This one, though, is exceptional!! I hope it is a perennial plant.

Thank you... I believe the name is Pennisetum setaceum..Purple Fountain Grass... Usually grown as an annual zone 9-10...
