My wife says my obsession with my native garden is weird… Yet even she couldn’t resist taking this picture of this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail on a Purple Coneflower.

Welcome, your wife, to the tribe of wonderful weirdos.
You’re appreciating and aiding the surrounding ecosystem while being gifted with a magnificent display of colour and beauty.
That’s awesome 👏😎

She’s right, you are weird. I am weird. We ALL are weird lol.
My wife went from being almost confrontational about native gardening to embracing it. Plants are not a lot of people’s thing, but you would have to have a pretty cold heart to not love butterflies and birds lol.

Obsessions are strange. Embrace it

As my therapist would say, “She’s chosen HER way to communicate HER own specific appreciation and love, though it may not be the way you originally wanted or expected. Accept it you idiot. Then run with it.”

Weird is good unless you are a republican elected official.
Great photos. Native gardening is a wonderful obsession. Its good to be addicted to biomass.

Beautiful and inspirational – I need to plant some
Beautiful butterfly!!! I grow vegetables and my mother complains about having them in the backyard. And yet she eats the veggies.
Wow, great shot. I hope mine bloom next year—I saw an eastern tiger swallowtail today and was sad I didn’t have much to feed it
Your WIFE is weird!
Just kidding. Your enthusiasm might be catching. Next? Your neighbors.
Perfection. This is what it’s all about.
What a classic shot!!!!
Seeing the clover take over the grass in my backyard makes me very happy 😄

It’s about sustainability, saving the earth, creating habitats to help future generations. It’s not just the plants. So much more
Maybe she gets it now lol
