Petey is having insect issues in the garden and gets pretty worked up. Let’s listen. Vegetable gardens are very rewarding, but always challenging. At our little homestead near the banks of the ol’ Guajolote we try to keep our sense of humor as we battle the various critters that want to eat our garden before we do. 
Calliandra is a beautiful plant name. I like the way a genus name can sometimes become the common name as well. I wonder how...
While admiring a blooming rubber rabbit brush Petey finds many butterflies feeding on nectar and he gets very excited. What’s new?
A hike in the nearby sky islands has Petey excitedly stumbling over plant names while giggling and jabbering away. Better listen.
