Today we went to West Ashley because someone on Freecyle was giving away plants from her yard that she had too much of. I helped dig up: elephant ferns and canna lilies, liriope, and a few other types.
When I got home I was able to transplant most of them except the liriope and mondo grass. While preparing an area for the ferns, I found some bricks under the surface near the fence. I used it to fence off the canna lilies in a back corner of the yard.
While digging holes for the canna lilies, I was startled by a loud buzzing in front of me. I thought that it was a bee, but when I looked it was a female rainbow scarab beetle, I tried to get a picture but it flew away first. Too bad, I have one of the male that I saw last month, hopefully they'll breed in my yard.
I'll post pictures tomorrow.
