When you get to be a certain age (cough, cough), you start becoming interested in things like gardening and what sort of critters you can attract to your yard by planting bushes and flowers. One person with Dahlias growing in their garden was pleasantly surprised to find two adorable little tree frogs hanging out in one of her gorgeous flowers, like they were on their honeymoon.
Just look at how cute they are!

The beautiful clip was uploaded via @joannapoleon13 on TikTok, and so many people in the comments said it made them cry! It is really sweet; I can agree to that.
One person commented, “Oh, to be a little frog with my friend in a flower.” Someone else said, “Awww, they look like they are on a honeymoon!” They really do! Another person replied, “This is just so beautiful. They look so happy! I love them. Nature is just too cool.”
From what I can tell, these little guys look like American Green Tree Frogs.
All about American Green Tree Frogs
Some people keep these little guys as pets, and The Spruce Pets explains, “American Green Tree Frogs are small, and their skin is porous, making them unsuitable for frequent handling. However, they are among the easier frogs to care for, even for beginners. Providing the right environment for these hardy amphibians isn’t too difficult, but you’ll need to dedicate at least an hour a week to clean their habitat.”
The American Green Tree Frog is one of those little creatures who just makes you smile. Bright green with smooth skin and usually sporting a white or yellow stripe down their sides, these frogs are tiny but full of personality. They’re common across the southeastern part of the U.S., especially in swamps, marshes, and backyard gardens where there’s plenty of moisture.
At night, their loud calls fill the air, especially after a summer rainstorm. You can hear what they sound like at this link. While small—usually only 2 inches long—they’re excellent climbers and love perching on leaves, flowers, and windows. Cute, lively, and surprisingly vocal, they’re nature’s little songbirds but like in frog form.
