Jenna and her husband live in a neighborhood
with large lots and many trees. We have visited her
garden several times. All photos courtesy of Jenna Bell.
Jenna shared some of her latest blooms including her roses above.
Her amaryllis is gorgeous too. (Amaryllis are a tropical flower that can grow in the ground here in Florida.)
She has several pots of geranium on her deck.
Like last year, they are helping protect Monarch chrysalis by moving them into the garden shed to the underside of the shelf. They leave the door ajar so the emerging butterflies can leave and fly into the garden.
I hoped you enjoyed our little visit to Jenna’s garden.
Stay safe and happy.
We’ll end with a sunset on the Gulf of Mexico.

…how I am looking forward to fresh homegrown tomatoes.
How very lovely! The butterflies and the tomatoes were both signs I love to see!
thanks Jeanie – Happy Thursday!
Thank you for sharing Jenna’s garden. I love the Monarchs and blooms!
thanks Lee – her garden is always a sweet place to visit.
These are just beautiful, and exactly what I needed to brighten my Thursday!
Shauna
I’m so glad you enjoyed it; you made my day!
Oh my everything looks so pretty. Here in New England everything is cold. I’ve started my herb garden but I’m ever so ready to see Pots of geraniums in the back garden!
just keep looking at the gardens further south – your garden show is coming soon!
All these dainty pinks made my heart flutter! Love it so much! That tomato sure looks plump and juicy and those pupas had me flinching (I’m so weird, I don;t know why I’m afraid of them)
Your friend Jenna has a wonderful garden!
Gorgeous sunset! In just the last few days we’ve found a few monarch caterpillars in our back yard. My wife is worried that they won’t have enough to eat.
Moanch butterflies only lay eggs on milkweed and caterpillars only eat milkweed. If this were regular time, I would say go buy a couple of milkweed bushes and let them eat them to the ground. Once they are butterflies they will take nectar from other plants. The chemicals in milkweed give the Monarch is distinctive colors. It’s supposed to tell other predators “I taste bad” according to experts.
So beautiful! It must be amazing to watch the butterflies emerge 🙂
Jenna has a beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing! I love homegrown tomatoes. I’ll be glad when I can have some more. 🙂
What beautiful photos! Such a lovely garden and so nice to see the butterfly too! 🙂
Hope that you are having a lovely weekend 🙂
thanks for visiting Mica. I hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday!
We’ve planted butterfly weed this year in hopes of attracting the monarchs. I haven’t seen one here in years.
Thanks for linking up at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/04/loving-springtime.html
Stay safe and well!
If you want them to lay eggs, you need milkweed. The caterpillars only eat milkweed
How amazing to have monarch butterflies in the garden.
The Monarchs and blooms are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing Jenna’s garden.
Happy Tuesday, Carol!
Happy Tuesday!
Jenna has a beautiful garden Carol. The flowers are in such beautiful hues 🙂 …….. but what I loved most is how they have made it a safe haven for the Monarchs
they read several years ago about how many monarch chrsalis die from predators and then began moving them from the garden to a safer spot – they love seeing them fly out into the garden
Passion and love for nature …… That’s gratitude!
Pretty flowers! Thanks so much for linking up with me at #AThemedLinkup 16 for Gardening, open April 30 to May 10. All entries shared if social media buttons are installed.
