Daylilies don’t attract many pollinators, but once in a while, a little frog will shelter in a daylily bloom. I came across this little critter on Saturday, when I was making the rounds, deadheading finished blooms. It’s a Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer). You can just make out the distinctive X marking on its back that is the source of its scientific name, crucifer: One who bears a cross. It’s tucked into a flower of the daylily Rainbow Eyes.
