All of us at Bon Bon Pond
thank our good friends Jeff & Laurie for the gift of two 16 foot trailer
loads of lovely hostas. The deer will love them later in the season when the
forest foodstuffs get thin, but for now the darling dragonflies have staked
claim to these popular perennials. The
plants arrived this weekend and with them came a cloud of black and gold insects
with the prettiest semi-transparent double wings. I’ve always loved dragonflies but this
variety is really something special.
Such sweet and friendly little creatures they showed their obvious delight
and enthusiasm, buzzing about and directing our unloading efforts.
The plants are part of a
long-range landscaping project designed to benefit the birds and other wildlife
here at Bon Bon Pond.
