Fairies In A Jar



Saw this photo on Pinterest, thought I'd share.  I remember catching fireflies in a mason jar at my grandmothers house during the summer months spent in Plaucheville, Louisiana.  What a cool activity for after sunset with the children.  I would imagine you could place the contents of the glow stick into a recycled plastic water bottle for the young ones.


Photo and directions were copied from Pinterest.

Fairies in a jar! No way! I'm sending this to my cousin. She has three precious little girls...Maria, Camille, and lille Lilly. She does the most creative things with them and documents them on her blog "Mohundro Moments". Is that "Enya" that we are listening to?? I love her haunting voice and beautiful lyrics. Happy 2013 Ory!

The Septic System Landscaping Dilema

Here is a photo of the landscaping around our aerobic septic system   http://www.damnseptictank.com/ holding tanks prior to removal of landscaping. The variegated shrubs and sago palm were babies when I planted them. The red shrimp plants were frequently visited by hummingbirds and swallowtail butterflies.  I purchased the pastel pink crape myrtles from Cornelius nurseries on Dairy Ashford when I was an employee there in 96'. They were only supposed to grow 18 feet but at the time of removal they were 30 feet. Needless to say their roots were tickled pink to be on top of the septic tanks. I had to remove the landscaping because the roots of our 70' tall gorgeous bald cypress tree had invaded the septic tanks. Whatever I chose to put in place of the previous landscaping had to have shallow roots.  So, for the first season I decided to put down some native wildflower mix I purchased from the Wildseed Farm in Fredericksburg.   ...

Justicia betonica White Shrimp Plant and Purple Porter Weed, Stachytarpheta jamaicensis

Purple Porter Weed, Stachytarpheta jamaicensis Justicia betonica, White Shrimp Plant Here is a photo of the perennial Justicia betonica , White Shrimp Plant in my butterfly garden. The plant likes shade or morning sun. It blooms late summer on into the Spring if there are no freezes. It is easily propagated and makes a stunning filler for the garden area.

Keep the blooms deadheaded so that the plant will continually produce more nectar for your visitors. the Stachytarpheta comes in coral, red, white and purple colors. You can easily prun...
