Great Golden Digger wasp

A very large wasp seen at the Garden in the Woods Park in Framingham Massachusetts last September.

See this and many other bugs and buds on my DailyPics photo site. We have 135 members adding new images daily.

Chionodoxa 'Glory in the Snow'

Very early Spring bulbs.
I started with 25 marble size bulbs 15 years ago.
Now there are thousands all over the place.
To see more of these and even a "Life Cycle" series visit Andy P's Daily Pics .
We are growing with active members, a fabulous Slide Show of 100 pics and much more.
Join us there.

20 Year Old Amaryllis

This is my oldest Amaryllis, it may be 25 years old, I forget.
An old 'Red Lion' variety I got at the super market for $5.
This year it has 2 flower stalks, each with 4 flowers. Usually the flower stalks come up one after the other, this year they are together.
People ask how I get it to live so long, I tell them Maximum Sun.
The second pic shows it where it grows, in a very sunny window, until it goes out for the Summer.

First signs of Spring

These little beauties survived single digit temps this past week to greet me this morning.

Don't you just love Spring?
