John Fa May 30, 2024 Blooms, Butterflies, Bees and More On the Homestead This Week John Fa May 30, 2024 A little glimpse into life at the nursery and homestead mid-spring : ) Rusty Patched Bumble Bees really love chives..they are a major visitor to them every spring and early summer. Jacobs Ladder beautifully in bloom by the cabin. A few rainy days, followed by some sun has brought out the Yellow Swallowtails. A beautiful sight on a rainy day. Yellow Swallowtails are an abundant visitor from mid-spring right on through much of the summer. It’s the heart of Columbine season on the homestead. Red Admiral caterpillar being hosted by some of our Stinging Nettle.
