D149-2012 Dianthus armeria (Deptford Pink) - non-native Family Caryophyllaceae . . . Native to Europe This particular alien, once seen only in gardens in the USA, long ago escaped and became naturalized across much of the eastern part of the country. Refreshingly, this is a well-behaved, non-invasive species in North America. Hidden Lake Gardens, Michigan May 29, 2012 (nex5n)

Cymbidium ID Orchid #06-2012H 01 A cymbidium orchid, cultivar unknown (there was no visible label in the pot). This specimen is severely afflicted by some pest or disease or unhealthy condition that has caused myriad spots to form on the petals and sepals. Temperate House of the Hidden Lake Gardens Conservatory, Lenawee County, Michigan February 20, 2012
Leaf of prairie dock...in winter, obviously. The leaves of this plant were on the order of 6 inches across. Mostly they were curled up, exposing their polka-dot undersides.
Pale ladybug on euonymus. The white "spot" on its back is the sun reflected in its shiny wing.
Ladybug on euonymus. One of a large family of beetles, coccinellidae, of which there are more than 450 speces native to North America alone. (Thus, not a true bug, despite its common name.)
Look closer: Yes, it's a butterfly, at Powell Gardens. Possibly a Cloudless Sulphur. You can see its coiled proboscis if you zoom in. But you can also see, next to it on the white flower, a small greenish brown caterpillar. An amazing number and variety (amazing to me) of butterflies, grasshoppers, katydids, spiders, beetles, mosquitoes, and other insects were active in the flower gardens in mid-October. Powell Gardens.
