The People's Garden Initiative
August 4, 2009. The People's Garden project continues to grow. Earlier this year, the grounds surrounding the USDA Whitten Building in Washington, D.C. began the transformation from grassy and parking areas to a sustainable landscape dubbed The People's Garden – see my previous post for more background information. The project's progress is evident in photos taken on July 17.

Unexpected beauty
While picking flowers for inside arrangements I came across this moth resting quietly on a hydrangea blossom. Not being one to pass up the chance to pick up a cool blog photo I grabbed the shot. Google led to Moths in a Connecticut Yard, a website with numerous thumbnail photos of various local moths – isn't the Internet fantastic! I think I identified the moth as Hog Sphinx (Darapsa myron), but I'd love to get some confirmation from a real moth expert.

The rain has slowed, the sun is warm, but at mid-July we are still having rather cool (50 degree) nights. Here's what is blooming in my Connecticut gardens.
