Joe and the Tiger

Description

Whew! It's been a long 3 months! But, the Growing a Greener World website is looking nice, functioning well and no longer a 24/7 project.

I thought I'd start off the month with an image from my own (neglected) garden. I planted Joe Pye Weed to attract butterflies and it does a great job.
And Happy T~K~W day!

Exif: F Number: 4.5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 800, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700

I remember when you helped me to identify Joe Pye from the Bowman's Hill Meadow! This year the milkweed there is "Lousy" with butterflies! They're stacking up in layers!

Great shot, Courtenay...I've somehow been missing your posts lately! #8798598

Curious as to HOW BIG a Master Gardeners Garden Is??
