People, including Gina, have been blogging about parrot visitations. This week Poppalina has been blogging about her daphne blossoming. So I thought I would chime in with both parrots and daphne.
Two weeks ago our daphne burst into bloom. As Herself said, you watch and watch the buds longing for the time when that beautiful scent will invade your life. But, little do you know, others are watching too: watching for just the right moment for blossom to open, nectar to peak, and a strike must be made before anyone else gets to it.
So it was that a visiting pair of Crimson Rosellas feasted and partied in a quite single-minded fashion on the shrub outside our living room window.

I followed you here from Kelli's. You have beautiful pictures. Of course, it is hard for me to imagine *winter* in the middle of August. I am from Florida, USA and it has been in the upper 90's to 100's for weeks on end. We are ready for some of your temperatures. And I imagine you are about ready for some of ours.
