Angle Shades Moth

This moth was in my house today. It's still here somewhere, I couldn't get him to rescue him. He was very patient with me allowing me to photograph him. When I was trying to get him onto the coaster, his wings were fluttering as if poised to fly off.

My garden at end of September 2010
















And the lovely but short lived virginia creeper out the front

Garden at end of August 2010

A bit late, but this was the garden at the end of August. The big bush was a bit straggly

Cuttings

I've been busy today. I've been taking cuttings of all my plants. I'm not sure what I will do with them, but I'll see if they'll grow first.


These are ones I cut a month or so ago. Some of them have rooted quite nice, but haven't really grown yet.

Buddleia Buzz Diary September 2010

My buddleias out the back are looking good :)
Ah, the joys of blogger - it refuses to do this one the right way up
The ones out the front are still small, but I cut down the sunflowers this week, so they shall start growing tidy now. While I was sorting them out, I had to step aside and wait for a bee to do his business :)

Buddleia Buzz Diary August 2010

My Buddleia Buzzes have been planted for 6 weeks now. I can't remember which ones were which, but the 2 out the front are different and the 2 out the back are different.

This one gets a bit more water than the other one out the back, but it's growing a bit lop sided.
I've no idea why this photo is at 90 degrees, but I can't fix it. And it's the best looking one too, doh!
The 2 out the front are still fighting for room and water with the sunflowers. All locations get a lot of sun, so I'm not quite sure why these ones are just so small.
This one wants to flower :)
