Today I set up my columbine (Aquilegia) rock garden.  One plant is a native wildflower (red and yellow) that I grew from seed; the others are volunteers from a previous planting of same.  Nearby I’ve planted perennial cultivars of columbine.  Did I mention I love columbines?  They’ll be near the irises, which I also love.

The whole time, Misu was “helping”, i.e. comfortably draped over rocks, or rolling on her back to indicate approval.

It was another toaster oven of a day, so of course I grilled.  The heat only encourages butterflies and bees; here is some kind of swallowtail (blue and black) on marigolds, and bees on assorted flowers.
