All posts by Lillian Davis

Hi, my name is Lillian but everyone just calls me Lil. I’m an artist, organic gardener & plant junkie. I live in north central Illinois in a little house on the edge of the woods with my husband and two of my four grown children. In my spare time you can find me outside playing in the garden or taking lots of pictures of my flowers or the local wildlife for my blogs~ and for eight wonderful years I had my dream job of running the garden center at Blain’s Farm and Fleet...

Ne m’oubliez pas

Forget me Nots (Myosotis)

White Daffodils

First Crocus

Here today. Probably gone to tomorrow. These crocus are in my front yard and so far have been undiscovered by the deer!

Where would you greet spring?

Blue Sky, Buds & Buzzards (signs of spring)

Half Moon through the Silver Maple Flowers

Like the Capistrano swallows, Turkey Buzzards show up around the same time every spring.

Deceiving Beauty

Ever wondered what a Venus Flytrap flower would look like?  Me neither.
This is the first one we’ve ever had flower for us. Kind of dainty and pretty for a something that instills terror in the insect world….  pollinators beware!

Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula)

Sunny Stick Horses

These three are enjoying a bit of sunshine before their trip to New Jersey.

 

Check out this trio and the other handmade stick horses at my Etsy shop!

Glass Kitty Evening Light

Glass kitty candle holder

As I was taking pictures of the deer in the yard (again), the evening light shining through my sleeping kitty candle holder caught my eye. I couldn’t resist.
