What a lovely color echo we caught this week at JLBG when the tiger swallowtails were visiting Mertensia virginiana (Virginia Bluebells). Remember that botanical diversity results in more pollinators in the garden.

It’s funny how much further along your bluebells are than mine, and I live in Raleigh. They just poked up last week in my yard, and yours are blooming! With visitors!
