Garden Tip of the Day: Studies show that Monarchs are attracted to large plantings of Milkweed (and other flowers) massed together (not mixed in sporadically one here and one there) and placed in a North-South pattern. Happy National Pollinator Week! #PollinatorWeek #gardendc #gardening #gardentips #gardenhacks #gardeningtipsforbeginnners

Pretty, bright Oleander #flowers for today. Every part of this plant is toxic to humans and pets if consumed. Even smoke from burning is toxic. Info: plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/n… #MagentaMonday #GardeningX

Garden Tip of the Day: Pollinators are not just bees and butterflies - they can be bats, beetles, moths, flies, birds, lizards, and more.

Celosia makes a great border plant and it offers vibrant color in the garden. The yellow one looks light a beacon shining against its red partner and the coleus. Have a great Sunday, and in the US, Happy #FlagDay! 🇺🇸#SundayYellow #Flowers #GardeningX

What’s more beautiful than flowers growing in and amongst each other? The Irises and Chinese Ground Orchids, with the greenery around them take my breath away. May you have a great Friday, friends! #PinkandPurpleFriday #FlowersonFriday #GardeningX

This is a great tip, rose growers!

Garden Tip of the Day: Roses need "petticoats" - meaning their lower stems are often bare and unattractive - plant catmint, lavender, sage/salvia, or calamintha below them for a classic garden combination.

Who doesn’t love Lavender? Phenomenal Lavender is the variety in the pic. It’s heat, humidity, and cold tolerant. Glad that I gave it a try. Do you use it in tea or baking? Have a good Thursday out there! #Flowers #GardeningX

Every time I see a blue mophead Hydrangea, I’m reminded of my grandmothers who each had one. These sweet blooms form one huge #flower that reminds me of the fun of childhood. May you have a great Tuesday out there! #TuesdayBlue #GardeningX

This is Batfaced Cuphea. Do you see that cute face in the bloom? A magnet for #pollinators, it blooms late Spring-first frost. Good Saturday to you! #Flowers #GardeningX

This fluffly bee is busy on the Spiked Speedwell. This perennial needs full sun and moist soil with good drainage. As you can see, it attracts bees and butterflies, and it blooms from late Spring-Summer. Good Thursday to you! #InsectThursday #Flowers #Pollinators #GardeningX

Blue Eryngo is a member of the carrot family. It loves full sun-the more sun it gets, the more vibrant its color. It blooms June-Sept, and it’s a pollinator magnet. Good Tuesday to you! #TuesdayBlue #Flowers #GardeningX

Coleus add a lot of color yo a shade garden, and they’re easy to propagate. Good Monday and June to you! #Flowers #GardeningX

This week’s #flowers around the garden. Their true beauty isn’t captured by a camera lens. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Keats #FlowersonFriday #TGIF #GardeningX
