Just for pretty

Hello, everyone.

While doing things in the yard this morning, before the day's heat hit, I found some pretty and some cheerful things to photograph. (Yay for having the phone in my pocket!)

First, the cheerful ones:



The tiny white dots are Green Lacewing eggs. They're a cheerful sight because the larvae, and also the adults of this insect love, love, love to eat aphids. Possibly also mites! 


And the plumeria blossoms are "just for pretty!" I have been giving a spritz of the avocado tonic from Gary's Best Gardening to various other plants on the way by, so to speak. The plumeria has rewarded me by going into blooming mode. (Link goes to Mr. Matsuo's Youtube video on avocado care. Very interesting!) The native pepper plant has also done that--many tiny white blooms followed by incandescently hot oblong peppers.
