I thought those looked like petunias.. Had a few of them come up.. lots of colors.. Weird.. did not know they where native to Arkansas.. Or are they?
 
More likely they blew in from all the ornimental gardens. People love buying them at the nurseries.
 
I like "little" spider. You know damn well that's not a little spider.
 
Awesomeness.

Looks so much different this time of year!

Makes me nostalgic....
 
That looks like a banana spider, or at least that's the name I've always heard them referred to. They're not that little, though I've never seen one inside. I think they're actually very pretty, where else are you going to go to see a technicolor spider?

Anyway, that looks like a ton of flowers.
 
I remember when I was in 6th grade, we had one of those black and yellow spiders nesting on our porch. We named her Chiquita. lol She was epic. She laid all her eggs, shrunk to a smaller size, then got pregnant again and laid more eggs. o__o Tough mama spider. Sadly, we had a wind storm one night that blew her over to our front door, where she was curled up and dead, and then I had a freak out. :D I hate spiders, but that particular one had a special place in my heart.

Anyway, dumb stories aside...

Your pictures are truly amazing, Isabellas. I felt myself becoming more breathless as I scrolled further down. Such amazing plants, and I admire your hard work.
