Well, this spring I went into my greenhouse/potting shed and organized. So, here are two pictures taken of the Basement of my potting shed where I placed plastic shelving units and organized all the empty pots/trays/etc.

How about Blister Beetles? In past years I only found them at night on my pasque flowers, but this year I found more beetles in the yard than other years, drowning in the dog’s water dish, walking on the ground, etc. Apparently they can fly and so, that must be why I found so many in the yard this year. They have an iridescent blue coloring and you have to pick them up (and squish them) with gloves on because they will cause blisters on the skin if touched. If disturbed, they pretend to be dead as two in the pot are doing in my picture.

Bellflowers or campanulas are one of my favorite perennials. This one is Birch’s Hybrid. Another name for it is....Campanula portenschlagiana. Birch’s Hybrid is easier to say.

Bowl of Cherries has a dark pink flower and is a short campanula. It blooms for a long time. It reminds me of a miniature Cherry Bells.

Blue Mouse Ears Hosta is a hosta that I got this year. It had 2 eyes in July when I purchased it. I split it immediately when bringing it home. Here is one half of it, two months later. It must have at least 3 eyes in this division already. It has super thick leaves and a blue coloring to it.

Bright Eyes, another garden type phlox, I also have. I really like the hummingbird moth that was on it this summer. This is one of the few times I actually saw one sitting and not fluttering about.
