The mint is blooming and the wasps love it. I never see any butterflies on it, but it definitely attracts wasps.
A lesson about the birds and the bees ... and wasps.

Spring and fall are my two favorite seasons. Flowers (goldenrod) and trees are blooming or changing colors and there are splashes of fantastic color everywhere. One can find a plethora of subjects to photograph. But, like spring, you have to move fast to capture the changes. If you wait too long, it's gone. The Monarch Butterflies and the Gulf Fritillary or Passion Butterflies are beginning their migration down to Florida and Mexico for the winter. I had a bundle of butterfly pictures today, but figured it's not every day I catch a glimpse of what it would be like to ride on a wasp. Maybe we'll have butterflies tomorrow.
I got curious about a hole in one of the hydrangea stems and peeled it back to reveal a wasp embryo. I was sorry I destroyed the little nest, but couldn't put it back together. As I sat there contemplating what to do, I noticed the wasp come back looking for its nest. When it discovered its baby in distress, it pulled it out and carried it away to a safe place. Who would have thought that wasps loved their young?
