Photos from a botanical garden

Made a post for my queue (because I love throwing all of my posts in Queue) and I guess my celosia was too spicy for Tumblr??? Or perhaps the worm was too squirmy??? Too hot to handle???

I finally got around to planting my flowers (plus a strawberry and tomato plant, very excited) and found some fun critters. The little (grass?) snake was only held for a couple of photos, I moved it to the shade and out of my way. My yard has so many little isopods, they're so fun to watch

Today was a lovely day. Got to see this lovely little bee visiting the dandelions in my yard.

I knew my yard had clay soil, didn't realize how colorful it would be though! Red, yellow, orange, and this weird grey green color. I was planting some trees in my yard and found this when I dug down. I figured some people might like the colors.
