common_natureI took some pictures of my yard today.
This is the purple-and-white garden.
This allium is blooming lavender. I love these things because they're so pretty and herbivores won't eat them. I think these are from the 2 Months of Alliums Mixture. There was a blue one blooming earlier but it's done by now.
This one is pink. Those tiny green dots in the flowers are seedpods beginning to form. Usually my ornamental alliums set a lot of seed.
This one is hot pink.
A bumblebee is visiting these white alliums. She was very enthusiastic about attending to each one of the many tiny flowers. :D This is the first time I managed to photograph a bumblebee this year -- the earlier ones refused to settle anywhere. Alliums are great for photographing insects because they have all those flowers in one place. I'm always happy to see wildlife enjoying my garden. \o/
We're almost at the end of Three Weeks for Dreamwidth; May 15 is the last day. Does anyone else have updates or photos of their nature activities? This is a good opportunity to promote the community to new people. Put the tag "three weeks for dreamwidth" on your post and it will appear in the feed.

>> Regarding the garden out back in my building, it's doing pretty well. A neighbor and I were out there yesterday and he transplanted some things. <<
That's good to hear.
>>I'm still pretty rusty when it comes to taking photos using my iPhone, but perhaps one of my neighbors can help me and I can post at least one of them here for all to see.<<
It's worth a try.
