My liatris has 17 blooms! If it gets by the next few days I'll feel better.


Even though the flowers and foliage of liatris are generally deer resistant, you just never know when the damn deer will take a bite or two just to be sure. Speaking of the "damn deer,"I know the main doe is hiding her baby deer nearby and will bring him or her (or them!) out soon. Her twins from last year have been behind the house but not mama... Very exciting. I call them damn deer but I would miss them if they left. Last night they ate some of my speedwell (Veronica spicata)! Bastards. They waited until just after the tender pretty purple shoots had started to appear and then "snap" -- off with their heads.
