Ivy, it is so nice to have you as part of the Photo-a-Day Challenge! You always share such lovely flower pictures. I was fascinated with the Nightshade photo. I don't believe I've ever seen a nighshade bloom or plant before - in person or in photos. Such a delicate, unassuming plant to be so dangerous!

Your Sempervivums are quite healthy and vibrant. I have a large variety of succulents that include several of these. They are a joy to grow - very cooperative plants.

I smiled when I read that you will pick blackberries in the fall. Our blackberries are long gone!
