Did you stick around and watch her eat him?

Nope. I saw my wife had called me 20 minutes before, didn't hear the phone ring. Called her back and she said she butt dialed me but needed my help with something so I forgot all about the 2 lovebirds.

Just like at the other side of the ocean, out here in Spain we also had the typical end of summer rain, 2 days with lots of rain, luckily not like last year when more than 300 people were killed in the floods around Valencia, about an hour and a half drive from here.

This morning an incredibly beautiful rainbow appeared.

Caterpillars in the Zinnias.

Post office stopped sending packages to USA at the moment, only cards, and packages of more than 800€ value.
Its because of the tariffs.
So thats it for sending seeds for now.

Punto Rojo
Only one i didnt top, the others were getting too big and visible.
Amazing how they keep growing, very vigorous.

Cuban Blood Haze

Also incredibly vigorous, and a little bit ahead in flowering compared to the Punto Rojo.

No mantises out in the wild here but did spot a hummingbird hawk-moth for the first time. Used to be a rare sight.

I went to check on my plants yesterday and this lil bugger was sitting on top of my plastic greenhouse, pecking at my buds...i thought it would just fly off but she it just hopped down and walked around the garden then went in the house and went to sleep.! I thought it would fly off this morning but it ate some seed, walked round the garden then went to sleep in my hallway! i guess i have a new stoner housemate.

Hey fellas and the occasional lady....what's causing the discoloration on my leaves. I've looked for bugs... whatever it is seems like all 3 plants that have it are close together....may be one rouge bug?

As many of us here have seen bud worms in outdoor cannibus. I've had my branches hanging indoors just waiting till there dry enough to trim buds. Now here's the ewwww part.......i found 7 teeny tiny worms hanging by their threads as they try and leave the low moisture drying buds. Justa swaying in the breeze LOL weeeeee I clapped them into green mush.

Doesnt look like bug damage to me.
Maybe something to do with feeding?

Big boy seems happy with the leaves.

They really seem to like the zinnias.
Biggest one i found so far, in fact the only big one i found.
