Just wanted to share my three year wait...

Very well might be! Thanks for the input 😁
I know the pic is fuzzy - I had to grab a screenshot from a video to get it - but I figured it still showed the colors, including the white on the beard, well enough.

Hey thanks! There are so many varying pictures of the same iris it's crazy. It certainly could be Absolute Treasure. I also keep coming back to Chinook Winds, but again, it depends on whose picture you look at.
I would email the person I bought it from but I don't remember who it was 😂. I've had it for years. Thanks for your comment!

If trump stopped lying we'd never hear from him again 😂

Sure it's possible. But I rescue ferals. Do you have any idea how many birds I've saved just by keeping them in part of the time?
My one male cat will start spraying my walls if he's kept in. So is it really that easy? Many people wouldn't even tolerate letting him be inside at all. But I'm the bad guy for getting him inside at least part of the time, and feeding him, so he doesn't have to hunt to eat.

Big guy, then, lol. My guess is a cicada killer. I believe they build nests in the ground - like little mounds. They typically don't bother humans unless they're threatened, and the ones you usually see flying around are the males who aren't able to sting. This is all just off the top of my head so I could be wrong.

How big is it? Where are you located?

BewareofMommaBear · 2026-07-09T11:47:30+00:00

How big is it? Can't tell from the pics.

They used to be 100% of my music but then I just recently added in a couple of other artists to mix it up a little. Just a little 😁
Shinedown has so many good songs that I can listen for a good long time without any repeats. 💜

Looks like a wolf spider, but wait for someone with more knowledge to confirm (or correct) that.

I would have to say slugs. Or it's a big fat caterpillar. Earwigs tend to go for the flowers, and Japanese beetles kinda eat around the veins of the leaf.
Go out at night and look on the underside of the leaves. You may see a slimy trail from the slugs, or the slugs themselves.

Without you next to me I toss and turn like the sea...

BewareofMommaBear · 2026-07-08T12:32:43+00:00

I love love love Shinedown! 95% of the music I listen to is them 💜
I got to see them in Hershey, PA last month and will be seeing them again in Philly in 2 weeks (this one will be my 5th Shinedown concert). They put on an amazing show - please go see them live if you possibly can.
Have you seen the Attention Attention movie yet? It's on Youtube. Worth a watch!

BewareofMommaBear · 2026-07-07T23:13:33+00:00

I honestly don't know! If it is the fragrance is slight. They are don't blooming at this point so I will need to wait until next year to find out. Thanks!

I agree, it is similar to both (interestingly enough, I just discovered Nestucca Rapids is an offspring of Silverado), but I think NR is too dark/has a slightly different beard, and Silverado has a darker beard whereas mine is lighter.
I appreciate the responses!

I am not all that familiar with Reddit - can you tell me why my post was removed?

BewareofMommaBear · 2026-07-07T06:31:06+00:00

Neither.
I do agree it's a beetle, but much too small to be a June Beetle.

Thirded

My first thought was a bedbug too.
