| Announcing Our
Fourth Annual
Photo Contest Winners |
|
 Congratulations to our first place winner
Anne van Oppen, Palos Verdes Estates,
CA for this beautiful photo of
"Bright Wings" Asclepias
.
Anne tells us: "I garden for insects! I bought these seeds to attract Monarch butterflies
into my garden. They are on their second season. I have had many Monarchs
visit them and lay eggs, but these are photos of newly hatched Gulf
Fritillary feeding on the nectar. Lots of butterflies of many varieties love
this plant as well as other nectar feeding insects." |
 Our
Kid's Photo Contest winner is Jack Vallari (age 5) of Contoocook, NH with his climbing summer squash
"Trombetta"
tower.
His Dad Bob Vallari
tells us:
"Jack's garden also includes pumpkins, watermelon, peppers, cukes,
scarlet runner beans, impatiens, a sensitive plant, edamame, and tomatoes.
He planted them, cared for them and proudly showed off his garden to
anyone and everyone who entered our yard." |
