I've spent a good hour trying to figure out what kind they are. I'm not sure, but I think the third one is a Great Pondhawk and the fourth one is a Blue Dasher. I'm determined to find out for sure though. :) Love those pentas - you've captured so many great visitors and your garden looks so inviting! Going back online now to study dragonflies - there's also damselflies...so exciting!

I would love to see one of them. Hey, you bring the wine and I'll provide the food and we'll talk plants for hours I'm sure.

My mom has tons of them in her garden. I hope you don't have many on all your pretty plants.

And your photos are beautiful. Last night, while riding my bike through a field, I spotted a vibrant red dragonfly. First time I'd ever seen one with such a deep, red color. It was beautiful. They are beautiful as you so captured in your pictures.<br /><br />That sitting area looks like it is situated in paradise. I'm thinking a glass of wine at the end of the day listening to the birds and the cicadas . . . we'll ignore the heat and mosquitoes ~ it's FL and those are just a given. :-)<br /><br />Susan - you have created something very special with the new garden.

I've seen a LOT of them here too and am always grateful since they do eat some of the masses of mosquitoes that abound. I love the color of your crepe myrtle.<br /><br />Happy Gardening dear Susan in your lovely gardens.

Someday I hope I can capture the hummingbird that I catch glimpses of out of the Windows. I look forward to seeing what discoveries you find in your beautiful garden.
