Everybody loves flowers

That includes bugs, both good and bad. In addition to those Japanese Beetles and aphids that plague gardeners, thankfully there also are those that bring beauty to the yard, like the Monarch Butterfly pictured here exploring an echinacea flower as well as the more exotic Hummingbird Moth pictured delving into an impatiens flower. Flower lovers, of course, also include people, like those who recently attended the Milford Garden Club’s annual Secret Garden Tour.
