I've found several wooly brown caterpillars eating sunflower leaves, lantana, and the hollyhocks, which have never ever bloomed are pocked with holes. I also found LOTS of weeds! It's been so rainy here (so they say) and it poured this afternoon again. I checked the photo that Donna edited. Amazing. I learned from that little lesson for sure. Enjoy your busy week!

At several today along the coast I found a similar plant as your mallow and I was thinking about whether it was a mallow or not and decided it must be in the same family of flowers. The plant part was whisper but the flower about the same!<br /><br />Thanks for passing along the photography tips you get!<br /><br />DeannaDeanna Rabe - Creekside Cottage Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133684514103206137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-85070858833253142092013-08-13T18:22:04.818-04:002013-08-13T18:22:04.818-04:00Love that lily, it is huge!

My husband tends it so lovingly for me each summer - my own little English style sort-of place where it's nice to sit and ponder. If the humidity is down, that is!<br /><br />Your photo challenge with water is fascinating! Wish I was better with a camera. I hope to attend a Note Card Party soon - but next week I'll be visiting my grandbaby so blogging will not be high on the list of things I have time to do. Back to the keyboard the end of the month.<br /><br />Blessings to you!<br />Joy!<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-3221972142365828442013-08-13T14:13:33.988-04:002013-08-13T14:13:33.988-04:00Hi Vee
