Monarda is doing excellent this year. Next year will be it's third year in the ground.
A true hummer magnet. It's not unusual to see three or four hummers at once on this plant.

Poor bee! I now know more than I ever wanted about Goldenrod Crab Spider!

Apparently, it only spins web to provide itself a safety line. It hangs out on flower heads (goldenrod, milkweed, and QA lace) and feeds on pollinators as they land! It can also change color to yellow when it is on the goldenrod (but this chemical change takes a long time to occur-a couple months).

Thanks, Llcenter, those petals looked so perfect and weren't showing any browning yet, so I couldn't resist.

Hello...I am new here and trying to learn how to post pictures. I have read the instructions given but none seem to apply to Picasa Web where I store my photos.

In Picasaweb, if you tap/click on "download" tab, you will see your photo in a new window and the web address/link box at the top of the window will contain the file link. Copy that and paste here between the img codes (you can get the codes by clicking/tapping on the (img) button above the full editor reply box

...like so:

I just have to post a photo of my Joe Pye weed (Big Nate). This is only it's second year in the ground, but what a show it is putting on!

beautiful! I miss mine which got left behind in the move. I just planted boneset, which is closely related, also a Eupatorium.

Thanks! The amount of butterflies, and honey bees it brings in, I will surely be planting more next year.

I don't know that you need to plant more at this point! :) What you have is going to keep spreading and getting to be a bigger and bigger colony. If you want some in other spots in the yard, just divide it and move some.

Yes, it is pretty well behaved. It doesn't spread by runners and it doesn't seem to much re-seed itself. So it isn't invasive -- mainly the colony just gets bigger. Where you have ten stems now, maybe fifteen next year. But you can dig and divide the clump.

Very good to know. Thank you rainbowgardener. Actually my thought was to purchase a few different types from my local Long Island perennial retailer. Two I have in mind are, Eupatorium rugosum ‘Chocolate’ Joe-Pye Weed:, and Eupatorium dubium ‘Baby Joe’ Joe-Pye Weed:

I picked these tomatoes today. I live in a neighborhood of garden thieves. So far I've been lucky, no tomato thefts so far. I saw a young guy on a bike eyeing my tomato plants so I picked the red ones just in case he was thinking about stealing them.
My dahlias are so beautiful. I have one that grew sideways. The flower is a couple of feet left of where the base of the plant is.

What a beautiful color of that Dahlia! I planted this year what they call the Humpty Dumpty mix. Not impressed at all.

Yes, that orange color is my favorite. I only planted about 6 bulbs. The plants get so big it seems like I have more than just 6. I want to plant some more of thise orange dahlias next year.
Humpty Dumpty mix sounds like it must be leftovers - the not so popular colors.

Alright, I know this looks wasteful, but it sat around too long waiting to be stuffed. From '09:

It's a Tiger moth caterpillar of some type, maybe a dark form of the Yellow Woolly bear, maybe a Lined Tiger moth. But not an Isabella Moth.
