Another busy day, so here's just one photo. If I have time later, I may post more, and I have a more substantive series under construction.
I was weeding the luxuriant growth in my flowerbeds that the rains have encouraged, and this little one and two sibs got scared out. She's smaller than the one I showed you last year, but I did get a close enough look to be able to appreciate how perfectly she's formed--stripes just like an adult's. You have to click on that photo to see the detail.
My desert four o'clock is blooming! I hadn't expected it this year and had just sort of left it alone, but I checked on it the other day when I was weeding. Those photos might be next week, but that may let it develop a real crown of blooms.
