Magnolia and More

This is a beautiful magnolia found behind "J".

This one between "P" and "R".

A magnolia with a bee.

An iris from the Greenhouse garden.

A magnificent catalpa blooming in "V".

A butterfly that can be seen for only a brief time is this little wood nymph.  I have not been seeing many butterflies.

Let's hear it for the ladies!  A female eastern pondhawk.

A female twelve-spotted skimmer.

Here are three males - all on the same perch in the wetlands.  Above is the twelve-spotted skimmer, in the middle is the white-tailed skimmer, and on the bottom is a blue dasher.
