This is called a Red Bird of Paradise bush
It’s all over Southern Arizona landscaping.
We looked it up
A water lily at the Butterfly Center
A freshly planted succulent garden
Our little Freddy is growing up
He is so independent now that when he goes out at night, no telling if he’s even going to be home by dawn! Sometimes we wake up to an empty puddle.
Water, but no Freddy. Sometime later in the day though, there he is again, curled up in his pond.
Here’s a cool little thing
It’s a six-spotted milkweed bug!
We have milkweed in our yard, so it’s come to just the right place.
