Flowers, flowers, flowers! My photo files are full of flowers at this time of year. These are some of the ones growing just outside my door, wild and tame.

| Trailing bellflowers, Campanula poscharskyana. A reliable perennial. |
 |
| The first batch of flowers were white; today's were almost blue. |
 |
| Another of the bellflower family, Campanula sp. Here growing with Wall-lettuce, Latuca muralis. Not in a pot: these are volunteers. |
 |
| Johnny-Jump-ups again. |
 |
| One flower of that wall-lettuce. |
 |
| And, found on the harebells, a leafhopper nymph. |

Es junio; y hay tantísimas flores; más cada dia. Estas son unas de las que crecen junto a la puerta de mi casa.
- Campanula poscharskyana. Estas regresan año tras año. Las primeras salieron blancas, y luego salieron estas. Las de hoy son azules, todas en la misma planta.
- Estas son las blancas.
- Otra especie de campanulas, estas levantadas sobre tallos altos. Con una "hierba mala", lechua de las paredes, Latuca muralis.
- Viola tricolor. Unas que los venados pasaron por alto, probablemente porque estaban ocupados comiendo mis frijoles.
- Una ninfa de los insectos cicadélidos, o saltahojas. La encontré entre las hojas de las campanulas.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
