The glorious weather continues here in Beautiful Alabama and the yard tasks are numerous. There have been a lot of butterflies this week and I did manage a good photo of a Tiger Swallowtail.
My tomato and pepper plants are in the ground and growing. Soon, I will be replacing the daffodils in containers with caladiums I recently purchased.
Here are my efforts for this week.
Here is another beautiful amaryllis. I am getting better with the macro lens on my iphone13.
Here is roof iris. It is so delicate. These plants are now about 3 years old and well established in the Mens Garden.
Another beautiful one is this Iris virginica. I love the blue shades in this one. I got these from the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and they have thrived in the Mens Garden.
Here is the native that I promised. This is a Golden Alexander. It is a native perennial. It is widespread in the eastern USA. I bought this one at a native plant sale a few years ago.
It is a host plant for the Black Swallowtail butterfly.
I have seen many butterflies this week. Here I captured and Eastern Tiger Swallowtail getting nectar from this red azalea.
Those are mine for the week. Happy Gardening. We have one more month before it begins to get really hot. I have several projects to complete before then so wish me luck.
Don’t forget the Propagator. He is the inspiration.

Super photos Doc and so great that you caught the butterfly, I am usually too late by the time I’ve got the camera mode on, found the flower and then the butterfly, it flies off.
