Bees Are Back

The bees seem much later this year ... although I have noted there are a few more around to day in the cotoneasters - but they are noxious weeds here - big trees and quite nice, but so hard to kill off as the parrots drop the seeds everywhere.

This clock is a "work of art" ... it's a water clock ... but the firmament stops for no man.

This genus in the amaryllis (Amaryllidaceae) family is made up of just 4 species of perennials from southern Africa. While these plants are best suited to warmer conditions, and can tolerate only the lightest of frosts, they can be enjoyed as container plants in cooler climates. The stunning flowers come in vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange, and are followed by equally vibrant and showy berries, which extend the ornamental season of these plants.

The genus was named for Lady Charlotte Clive, Duchess of Northumberland, who was the granddaughter of Robert Clive of India (general and colonial administrator).
