Mine do well as part of the landscape. Note: try to get a male plant . This will eliminate volunteering. Asparagus likes well drained soil and full sun. Two or three plants will put quite a bit of asparagus on the table

Can anyone tell me what kind of flower this is.

Something to think about.

Leafhead comments on Jul 5, 2018:

The idea, or one of the ideas, for legalizing weed is to lessen the dependence on hard drugs. Legalizing opioids, even with a prescription, has been disasterous. Legalizing other drugs like coke and methods would be worse yet!

Leafhead comments on Jun 29, 2018:

I think the obvious trigger here is the "F-Bomb", Faith. But that word has more than one context. Faith is merely implicit trust in something or someone. I have faith in friends and family members, that they will support me and make good decisions. I have some faith in my docs, that they have my best health in mind. I have faith that the Sun will set tonight and rise again tomorrow. Faith in this context means giving an asshole the benefit of the doubt, and giving him/her another try. In other words, forgive a little. Without faith, we are kind of lost and untrusting. Faith =/=religion, though religion requires a lot of faith. Overall, I think it's a positive message

My aha moment.

I scour my Milkweed on a regular basis, and serendipity in its purest form arrived as 20 members of a garden club came to my garden for a lecture on butterfly gardening and garden tour. Suddenly, as I was beginning the tour, I looked down and there was a big fat #5 on my Swamp Milkweed! Here he is. It could not have been more perfectly time :)

A couple of views of the flower bed in front of my house.

Leafhead comments on Jun 26, 2018:

Sweet! Thank you for doing your part in providing for the Monarch :) You are also smart to contain your Milkweed in a pot! For a nonaggressive, very attractive and easy to keep Milkweed, try Asclepias tuberosa, the Butterfly Weed. It stays low, about 18", and does NOT travel underground. It has beautiful orange flowers, and also comes in a happy yellow cultivar called "Hello Yellow". Depending on where you are, Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is another good choice for those seeking Milkweed that is both attractive and well mannered in the garden.

Beutiful and interesting shots. Some species of fireflies evolved to feed on smaller ones. Their larvae feed mostly on slugs, snails and small worms in and on the ground. Fireflies spend two years underground as larvae, and live only one or two nights as adults. A "flash" in the pan.
