But gardening has helped me overcome that feeling.<br /><br />Jan, thank you so much! I'm so glad to know you liked the winged ones. While googling to find out the name of the pink one I came across many amazing shots on the net. But in real life, that's the one and only time I've seen it.

I'd seen some ads online and I assumed the invasiveness part wasn't there. So much for assumptions! I know better now!! <br /><br />Tina/ Racquel, thank you for this bit of info.<br /><br />Padma, welcome! And thank you for stopping by.<br /><br />Mildred/Susie, the header photo is of the Peacock Pansy. It simply stared at me and did not budge! <br />I've never felt so lucky!!<br /><br />Prospero, thank you for mentioning the Surinam Cherry. Must be sweet?<br /><br />Karen, I'd been thinking about the pairing since April!! Glad that I could finally post. It's all blooms ruling my head...well, mostly!<br /><br />Carla, thanks!!

Those fuzzy caterpillars are so cute! I have seen mimosa as trees, are these different? I did notice that there are many volunteers around the big trees, maybe that's the invasive part.
