It’s mid September and my yard is filled with blooming hostas. We have all sorts. I truly love these flowers. My husband rescued each and every plant from old yards being plowed under for big box stores and other not so negative construction. Many have come in poor condition but he’s tended them and they’ve thrived. The flowers are happy here. So are the hummingbirds. Last week I looked out the window at the largest gathering of hummingbirds I’ve ever seen here. I went for the binoculars and what did I see? Well, they weren’t birds at all. They were giant hawk moths. I’ve only ever seen them in pictures. They’re absolutely amazing. They have a three inch-long tongue and remind me of planes that fuel in flight.  Apparently this is the largest emergence of hawk moths in a long time. 

Here’s a clip from the Chicago Botanic Gardens. It’s exactly what I see here:
