Beautiful photos! All of them, but I am especially fascinated by the Pipevine swallowtail laying eggs on that tiny Swanflower growing between rocks. I first became aware of that plant when I saw several Pipevine larva frantically crawling along the ground at an old cemetery on the SE side of San Antonio.

After some research I found that they were crawling along in search of one after the other tiny Swanflower plants on which to feed.

For me the plant is very hard to spot because it looks so much like grass.

I would never have know it was at our community garden if I hadn't taken over the plot vacated by someone else. Now it's coming up all over this one little area. I've had a bit of success digging some up but if what's above ground is 4", what's below ground is easily 3-4 x that long.

I can't get it to grow at my digs. I have tried and tried.... I love the photographs. I should try my hand at garlic. HMMMMM. When I get back to gardening. Still building. I am working on my closet.

What a pretty moth! It's a day flier and as beautiful as a butterfly.

Lorlelei, the detail of your photos is remarkable! What camera are you using? If using a smart phone do you put it in portrait mode for those excellent close ups?

Thanks you! I just use my Iphone XR and not on portrait mode.

Thanks Lorelei! I’m a brand new user of a smartphone and have just started to take photos with my iPhone SE. This will be my first effort to post one.

Any body want to take a guess on what it is? :-)

Lorelei, I would have never guessed that was a garlic flower pod that you posted above. It looks like something very exotic!

Is it bunny grass?

Yep, you got it!

That was my guess too but I was too busy cooking and finishing drawers.

Pretty swallowtail Lorelei, I saw one laying eggs on our parsley plant today. However a few nights ago while June bugs hunting, I encountered with a huge hummingbird hawk moth laying eggs on sweet potato leaves just a few inches from my face. It was so quick I froze. No time to take pictures. But now I know why I have been finding horn worms eating my sweet potato green. Bugger.
