The ornamental garden was nurtured by Alfredo Martinez, his young son, Michael and a teenaged relative, David. The prairie is behind, lots of green but flowers need hot sun.
ornamental garden ... the deer have been picking my flowers
Sage and wild bergamot and fragrant hyssop ready to flower
baby tree swallow peeks out -- almost ready to fledge
Bob's bees like this birdbath for some reason
These bees are numerous and busy, but quite calm
busy bees - some days they each make up to 70 trips to and from the flowers
