Another new yellow Angel Trumpet that bloomed recently was from a cross between brugmansia Ludger's Windsong and Lady Liberty. This one has a strong resemblance to its momma, Ludger's Windsong.I'm keeping this one around to cross back to Lady Liberty this fall.

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6134 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating and yet another bug du jour... Tonight's creature of the night is this rather interesting yellow garden orb weaver spider. Usually I find these things the easy way by running into their webs at night followed by the sensation of feeling 8 legs scurrying across my face!Maybe this will end up being a daily feature after all?
