My Penstemon 'Husker Red' is blooming. :-) #photo

These are my odd red bugs. Any idea what they are?

My favorite columbine is the wild Canadian columbine. I bought one at a wildflower sale and now it's everywhere. #photo

I've found a few self sown columbines in my garden bed. I'm always happy to see columbines.

One of my favorites in my garden is Penstemon Husker Red. It's got lots of buds, I'm looking forward to the flowers.

Testing out new macro lens. This orchid looks like an alien.

A lilac in my front yard is coated in ice.
