Butterfly Garden Plants

My butterfly/hummingbird garden and the other gardens around my house were full of magnificent color this year. It adds a bit of beauty, joy and stress relief to this crazy life. The flowers and critters were so fantastic I made a video of the garden this year. I think I need to make a garden photo book for our coffee table, as well!

Here are a few beautiful photos I love.

The butterflies, bees and hummingbirds that come to my garden love the Butterfly Bush, Petunias, Calibrachoas, Hibiscus and Red Day Lilies. The bees and butterflies love the Salvia, Cone Flowers, Zinneas, Black Eyed Susans and Queen Anne's Lace.

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps. They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.
