I discovered more damage during my morning rounds.
There were several be-headings in the garden.
Our deer herd has been back for a midnight snack.
Any stem outside a fence ring is in danger of ingestion.
This Whooperee daylily was totally decapitated.
I try to put barriers between the beasts and the blooms.
I hope the Deer Scram will help slow down the feasting.
How many flowers could I buy with the money I have spent to stop the deer?
June is not joyous.
It is the month of expensive battles.
Nature always wins the war.
I know this.
I just need one bloom to photograph.
Is that too much to ask from my hungry herd?

I am guessing that it was a deer which delicately nipped off all the buds on my old rose Maxima Alba. This would have been it’s first flowering year. Currently I have just a couple of brave buds still gamely trying. It’s fast grwoing but it will be a few years yet before it’s above deer height!

I plopped my garden down in the middle of woods. It should have been expected.

I have given up and just grow plants that the deer should not eat. Unfortunately, I they don’t always read the deer resistant tags.

This is true. We must do a better job of teaching fawns to read.
