Nearly everyone knows that dandelions are edible and that their nectar and pollen provides bees (and other insects) with one of the first foods in the spring. But those are not the only reasons to love these hardy weeds. According to folklore, the seed heads carry some magical properties, too. To learn more about the symbolism of the dandelion seeds, check out my blog post MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY - DANDELION SEED HEADS.
Until Next Time . . . HAPPY GARDENING!

If you are from Maine, or visit the state often, I'm willing to bet you refer to this rose as a wild rose. I know I always have. That's why I was surprised recently when I did some research on wild roses. Check out my recent post Wild Rose vs Old Garden Rose to find out how to tell if a rose is really a wild rose or simply one that has survived for years after it has been abandoned.
Until Next Time . . . HAPPY GARDENING! I posted this photo of a delightful Siberian Iris recently on my photography site and thought you might enjoy it. Check out the blog post Siberian Iris - Macrophotography for more information about the Siberian Iris, including a charming legend explaining how the Iris flower got its name.
Until next time . . . HAPPY GARDENING! You may have noticed that I have not updated this blog for quite some time. While there is a good reason for that, there really isn't any excuse. You see, I recently took up photography. My original intention was to use that photography for this site as most of my work is nature photography focusing in flowers, plants, insects and garden critters. However, I began posting the photos on my photography site and neglected this one. My post today may be of interest to you because it is about lacewings. To learn more about Lacewings and why they are beneficial to your garden, check out my blog post on my photography site.
