Female Common Whitetail

At any given time there are three to four dragonflies circling my yard now. It only took two years of keeping the pond fish free and I seem to have quite a dragonfly supply. I'm going to try to pick up some floating plants to see if that helps them some more.

I'm beginning to suspect I just like things with the word dragon in their name. While in New York I spotted a fern labeled dragon tail and almost bought it with no idea of its care requirements. (Turns out its a naturally occurring hybrid native fern. It could have even been able to live outside.) It wasn't even that cool looking. Of course I aso spotted a possum tail fern I rather liked.
