Wednesday Walk: Flowers, Bee And A Squirrel

in #wednesdaywalk5 years ago

It’s time for a brief #nature Wednesday Walk outside to check some of the flowers. There has been hot weather without much rain but my perennial garden seems to be holding up.

The burgundy lilies are in full bloom.

There is an area by the front deck where they seem to do well.

Although the hosta’s bloom is not as colorful as the lily, it is an important part of the garden. I’ve seen the hummingbirds stopping by them.

A closer look at the blooms on the hosta plant.

I forgot the name of this plant. I think it’s Motherwort?

This is what the leaves of the motherwort look like. I photographed this at another time, after a rain.

The orange lilies are in a couple difference spots around the yard. These ones are by the back deck.

A little bee is collecting pollen from the mallow flowers.

Going around the back of the house. No Tail is waiting patiently to see if any treat forecoming.

And yes, I did go in the house and bring the little red squirrel a piece of biscuit.

A beautiful post Lady Jo. Sadly we have left the squirrels and nature behind at the old place and over here we are going to have to make new friends.
But I am sure that it will happen soon.
I love your stumpy squirrel.
Those flowers are also so great and that hosta plant looks like it packs a lot of nectar for sunbirds to suckle on.
Blessings!

@redheadpei I see you name animals as we do, no tail looks like he is waiting for his biscuit. I bet you can guess why we named these cats. lol, bighead, one named orange cat and little orange cat. our favorite cat was the runt of the litter her name was littleone. I love the flowers, very pretty and the bee is loaded down with pollen.

Thanks @myjob! Yes i’m not too creative with the animal names. 😂 The cats; Red is called red because of his fur color and the other one, Sunday, after the day we brought him home.

@redheadpei the names sound good to me.

I chucked for a moment for "No Tail"...when the name hits a little too close to home. But hey, it does have a tail! Just not big enough for a squirrel...

The flowers are still pretty even with the heat! Sometimes it is just amazing to see that the fragile plants can withstand the heat better than us humans.

Thanks @liacse! Yes, the little squirrel has lost a lot of his tail. I hope he doesn’t lose anymore as he needs it to balance when jumping from tree to tree. Another squirrel is fighting him for territory and they will pull at each other’s tail.

Awesome photos Jo!! I think if I ever get around to getting daylilies then the burgundy color would be at the top of my list! That squirrel is too adorable!! 🤗

Nice shots the red squirrels are pretty cute they make hilarious video game sounds when they are fighting with eachother.
