The latest crop of garden porn

I spent yesterday's rainy day with a bunch of new garden books. Big gorgeous books I still buy in physical form and luxuriate in their size and heft. I don't read every word in these books - I read some, and generally flip every page and admire most of the pictures. Then they go on the shelf, and are referred back to fairly often.

The bee guy came back for another shot at my yellow jackets. They are now fairly unhappy, meaning maybe another day mostly inside.

Dead girls flying? I hope!

The rainy weather has kept things moving along in the garden. I have a small forest of mushrooms (possibly brought in by the mulch?) and my favorite huge "dinner plate" hibiscus.

It's actually redder (less pink) than this photo shows.
