I’m posting more petunia photos. Can’t help it, they look so good — the poor things are still going strong as I write this, and it’s already October. Ligia must have done something right taking care of them. Incidentally, she grew them from seeds she harvested from last year’s crop of petunias. You should have seen her taking care of these beauties from the time they were seedlings.

We thought we’d lose them a few weeks ago when these green butterfly larvae infested them. Those little nasties would eat both leaves and flowers, and there’d be no end of them! We’d pick them off the flowers and squish them, and there’d be more in the morning… Thankfully, they disappeared, and our petunias came back to life, more glorious than ever, as you can see.
