Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
I received from a friend 6 seeds (fully one half of her own) of a New Zealand Castor Bean. Due to a
scew-up of Canada Post they arrived fairly late in the season and I could not be sure, that there would be enough time for some of the seeds on the new plants to fully mature. Accordingly I planted only two of them, keeping the rest for next year In order to maximize the survival chance for at least one of them, I separated them, after they started developing secondary leaves, by planting one outside in the sunlight and the other I left on the window sill. The latter is developing faster and is the one shown on the below pictures. Presumably the nights are still a bit too cool out there. This photo shows the plant as it is now. This picture details a curious phenomenon, which I had never observed before. On the petiole of each leaf is a tiny knob, on top of which forms a tiny water bubble. That bubble is less then 1 mm in diameter though shown here hugely magnified. If I plot it up by touching it with my finger, it reappears within an hour or two. |

Okay, the ID for the butterfly in my post below is in.
My wife sent on the photo to a friend in Holland and she came back with the identification, unasked for, but much appreciated. Thus is the power of the internet :) It is a 'Tiger Swallowtail' butterfly, Papilio Rutulus the 'State Insect of Virginia' |

Sugar baby watermelon. I get up with the bees to pollinate my flowers. I'm sure the bees don't mind the extra help. |
