The rainy weather has been helpful to bring the late season beans in our garden to flower. Their delicate lavender blossoms are a welcome sight, apparently not only for the gardener, but also for this tiny grasshopper nymph I discovered hopping among the bean flowers.
This hummingbird flower was one of my favorite finds at the nursery this summer. It bloomed all season. You can see how it gets its fitting name from its dainty pink flowers that closely resemble hummingbirds!
Brightening our evenings with its chipper song, by day this katydid finds respite in the garden, where it blends in with the foliage and can hide from its predators.
By taking a closer look, there is always more to see than initially meets the eye!
