I am glad that you are putting him in training early. Good to see he loves the garden, so is it genetic or environment?

I love hummingbird moths, haven&#39;t had one yet this year that I&#39;ve seen, but my valerian (the white one) is just blooming now.

The hummingbird hawk moth loves to be out in bright sunshine most of all and feeds on nectar plants such as buddleja and valerian. I believe they are also creatures of habit and have been found to return to the same plants at the same time each day.<br /><br />RO xxxRothschild Orchidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05211151492115918365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726724983169046453.post-12413958086270536722011-07-05T00:34:50.241+01:002011-07-05T00:34:50.241+01:00How lovely to see your little treasure. He is just gorgeous. It&#39;s such a joy to take little ones around the garden for the first time. I have memories of taking my own baby boys and my grandchildren around to talk with the flowers and trees. The delight in their eyes is just a treat to witness. <br /><br />Astounded at the Hummingbird Moth. I&#39;ve never seen anything like it. It really does look like a Hummingbird.

We don&#39;t see them up here as much as you do down south butI&#39;m hoping one will visit my Valerian soon too though 7am is a bit too early for me to be out in the garden.Rosie@leavesnbloomhttp://www.leavesnbloom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726724983169046453.post-13252324948911160432011-07-04T22:02:14.534+01:002011-07-04T22:02:14.534+01:00Hi Jean, <br /><br />It is lovely to hear from you :o)<br /><br />I hope to do more of an update post in the near future. The Noodle is growing so quickly he changes from day to day. He has just learnt how to turn himself over this week, and I don&#39;t think crawling will be too far off.<br /><br />Stilton is not particularly impressed with my little sausage roll. His nose is somewhat out of joint as I feared it would be, but he is still getting lots of love and cuddles too. I have to share my lap with Edwin and Stilton most days, Edwin has the left knee and Stilton the right!Rothschild Orchidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05211151492115918365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726724983169046453.post-90401994133647665552011-07-04T21:54:54.867+01:002011-07-04T21:54:54.867+01:00When I saw a post from you, I hoped it would include a baby photo as well as plant photos.
