We are very pleased to have observed many of the weevils we "planted" last Fall, and their progeny, devouring the undesirable toad flax weeds on our property. These little critters seem to have expertly spread themselves over our 6 acres. We even unexpectedly observed a pair actively mating, to which we cheered as we walked away to give them some privacy. Look closely at the top frame to familiarize yourself with what a weevil looks like, sitting proudly on top of a dying toad flax plant
Our patch of Rocky Mountain Iris seems healthy and has expanded since we felled our beetle-killed pine trees last year
Beautiful iris growing in the wild
I've posted pictures of wildflowers growing on our property, but I never get tired of admiring these beautiful signs of life this time of year.JIR
