Diana...I wish the view from my back door looked like your graphic!
(I do have some foxglove growing the “Wild” “Fairy Island” corner of my property!)
Yes, I hear objections, no, I know there are no “fairies”, but there are beneficial insects that need a relatively undisturbed area to live in. A lot of lit-up fireflies hang out there!
Pete, you and I are simpatico on lightning bugs (oops, fireflies!) being fairies. In my neck of the woods, called Edge of the Woods, June is full of them. When we have a clear night sky, it looks like the twinkling stars fall out of the sky and into the trees, and then become fairies glowing in the woods and into our semi rural backyard. Think Tinkerbell and her friends. It’s one of my favorite times of year to be out at the firepit down by the woods.
With our wet season, the Fireflies have been fantastic!
Sadly, that means ALL the beetles, including the Japanese type which eat my green bean & my grape leaves will also be in abundance this season. :(
