#seekapp

The other day I was blessed with this beautiful discovery, Pua ‘olena (Turmeric flower) and today I was blessed with this other beautiful discovery! I’ve never seen one of these before. The Oleander Hawkmoth. I used my #seekapp by #nationalgeographic to identify it. 🥰💞🙏🏽 God’s blessings are always so AMAZING!! I love when He shares his handiwork with me! I mean, look at these clouds!! 🥰🙌🏽 New discoveries are all around, you just have to be open enough to see it!! 🥰💡💖🙌🏽 #backyardbeauty #turmeric #PuaOlena #oleander #hawkmoth #oleanderhawkmoth #skyporn #skypainting #oahu #luckywelivehawaii https://www.instagram.com/p/CTJp949LSSh/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the things I like most about the #seekapp is the wealth of interesting plant names it offers. This soapwort popped up in my garden in the spring, but I wasn’t sure what it was—flower or weed—so I left it to see what it turned out to be. Now it has bloomed, and Seek tells me that it’s a member of the carnation family, also known as bouncing-bet, crow soap, wild sweet William, and soapweed. My grandfather used to say that a weed was anything that grew where it wasn’t wanted; I think we’ll call this one a flower and let it stay. #gardens #flowers #pink https://www.instagram.com/p/CEOxSffMe4R/?igshid=1slpjx1g5oayz

That’s a big grasshopper for around here. I had to chase him around the yard for a minute, but he seemed to settle in on this spent daylily bloom. #seekapp tells me it’s a Carolina. #summer #nature #gardens https://www.instagram.com/p/CDqxnUtMGVE/?igshid=v1oymicrnhzb

Managed to observe a butterfly yesterday. They are tricky since they don’t stay still for long! #seekapp #nature #backyard #gardens https://www.instagram.com/p/CDLrxWOMcX-/?igshid=11jhmbpf2y1j2
