Wildlife in our gardens

Probably, I think they can be invasive in some areas

Double flower… stamens are replaced with more petals so there is no pollen, it may produce seeds if other rose of sharon were in the area.

I don’t kill pollinators even if they are fruit eaters. These stinging type insects have not been a problem for me here but I understand they are not good either some years. Had some crackingnpears in the Drippin Honey tree that attracted them

Not quite in the garden but just around the corner. These guys almost fell on me out of a tree while I was picking Beauty Berries. The snake was wrapped around the squirrel! when they hit the ground no more than 2-3 feet away from me. I shot it before i even knew what it was…Yes it scared the Poo-Poo outta me when it happened…
