Hummingbird Moth (Clearwing Moth)
June 7, 2022
Observed while enjoying the hot tub.
Boylston, MA
It's easy to mistake a hummingbird moth for a tiny hummingbird. It feeds on the nectar of flowers, hovering with the body stationary, its transparent wings beating so fast as to be nearly invisible,. In flight, the wings create a soft buzzing, like a hummingbird.
The hummingbird clearwing moth is the most commonly seen in Massachusetts. It has an olive back a red-brown abdomen and pale legs.

Birthday Roses in Massachusetts
Jenny ordered 3 bare root roses (from Jackson and Perkins) to celebrate the Twin A/Twin B birthday this year. She says they are very pokey, danger ankle biters. Colours are variations of coral, orange, pink and yellow. Names are Peace Hybrid Tea Rose, Catalina Grandilfora Rose and Cabna Hybrid Tea Rose.
Planted in a sunny garden.
Catalina Grandiflora Rose

This Red Rose was supposed to be a Catalina Grandiflora Rose but? not quite the right color? Catalina Roses are either Yellow or Salmon Pink
Maybe we can call it a Canadian Catalina?
Cabana Hybrid Tea Rose

Ranunculus
Ranunculus blooming in Boylston. The first place we saw and fell in love with Ranunculus was on a field trip to the Carlsbad Flower Fields in California in about 2010. https://www.theflowerfields.com/
Ranunculus are cool season flowers that grow best in spring-like temperatures of about 55°F. In warm climates (zones 8-10), the corms are planted in the fall so they will bloom in late winter and early spring. Plant ranunculus in beds and borders, cutting gardens and containers. They are good companions for other spring flowers such as primroses, pansies and larkspur.
In climates where ranunculus are not winter hardy (zones 4-7), the corms are usually planted in late winter or very early spring for flowers in early summer. In these areas, home gardeners often grow ranunculus in containers rather than in the garden. Containers make it easier to control light and soil moisture.
