And who dat looking at me? Green Anoles (obviously not always green ) are not uncommon here in the shade, but its still fun to spot one doing its thing.
And who dat spouting up from nowhere? Yeah, I was actually crazy enough to try and grow Star Begonia (Begonia heracleifolia) in the ground. They've never amounted to much (likely too shady), and I figured this winter's 18 degree low finished them off. But looks like someone is trying to stage a comeback.
And who dat showing off after some recent showers? Really enjoy Pink Rain Lilies (Zephyranthes rosea). I have a few different types scattered here and there, but this variety is my favorite. Only two blossoms this time, but given a few more months, I wouldn't be surprised to see lots more flowers after a late summer shower.
And who dat peaking out of that nest? No picture so you'll have to take my word for it, but recently spotted two little half-inch long bills sticking out from the hummingbird nest. Viewed from the other side was a single small tail poking over the edge. Using binoculars, I could see a couple of heads barely raised above the rim, staring back at me. So they seem to be doing fine; suspect their days of nest-bound life are likely drawing to a close.
Ooh, I hope you'll be able to catch a picture before they fly away. I love the Who Dat? theme -- what fun.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a sight, to see them on the nest. We had a nest but only found it after the summer was over. Hope we get to see your babies too.
