Status update: #BennyTheTreeFrog 🐸 He is back and perfectly fine! No injuries, and back to sunning himself on his porch! So happy his tumble didn’t scare him away permanently πŸ€— I just love the little guy so much. Here he is earlier today while I was at work. He was hanging out with my mom and admiring his new pool we made him! And you’ll notice that I tied his pot to the deck railing in addition to putting a heavy rock inside, so there’s no way he will have another fall! πŸ’š In plant news: my #BlackEyedSusan are all beginning to bloom now! There definitely seems to be some powdery mildew on some of them, though, so I will be hitting it with some fungicide on Wednesday. Also, look at this absolutely tiny spider who made a web in my yellow hibiscus! She’s so small I could barely see her; grateful for zoom technology! πŸ€£πŸ•·οΈπŸ₯ΉπŸΈπŸ’–πŸŒ» #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #GardenWildlife #BennyTheTreeFrog #babevila #PlantTherapy #PlantsSavedMyMentalHealth
Yay Benny!!! His vacation was short lived, glad he’s home! Those flowers are beautiful too.

We have a bunch of sunflowers in our yard that are starting to bloom, most of them are a red-orange, but this is the first big yellow one of the season (with a little bee friend)
He is just DARLING 😍 love all the nature that comes with outside plants/succulents! Thanks for sharing πŸ₯°
you have benny so spoiled, he's out here living like there's not a housing market crisis.
@itsjordan beautiful!!! I have some sunflowers growing, too, but I had to restart new seeds because something went around and ate/decapitated all my little seedlings several weeks ago! Lol. So I started them inside this time and planted them last week when they were big enough. They have another couple of months until they bloom, probably, but they’ll get there! I have 3 kinds this year and so excited!!! The last pic is my tallest guy from last year πŸ˜‡πŸŒ» Yours is lovely, and I adore bees 🐝 πŸ’›
@waspaganda hahaha I know! He has it better than I do for sure! 🀣🀣🀣
@Artistic_Stoner thank you!! I love all the little critters! Except mosquitoes, spider mites, and ticks. Lol!
@BabeVila those are not my friends either 😭hahaha
Don't forget FUNGUS GNATS Shannon! Lmao there are very few creatures I don't just catch and release... But gnats are right up there with those I destroy on sight!! Lmao 🀣 x
@BabeVila i begrudgingly accept their existence because they're still an important part of the ecosystem (ex: male and unmated female mosquitoes are pollinators). chiggers and biting gnats, though? you'd have to write me a ten page essay explaining why they shouldn't be deleted from planet earth en masse.
@waspaganda true about the mosquitos! I always forget that they’re pollinators!
@JenniB81 omg fungus gnats. How could I forget those little demons 🀣
