Glad you mentioned what you liked.<BR/><BR/>Curmudgeon, thanks. Maybe the Elephant's ear has borne fruit earlier too. But I've noticed only now.<BR/><BR/>Helen, thank you so much! Glad you stopped by.<BR/><BR/>Linda, as I was mentioning to Curmudgeon...maybe I never noticed them before--the E. ear fruit. It was in the wildest part of my yard but now that the place has been cleared the rite of passage can be seen:) Thank you for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Karen. I hope your weather clears soon and you can go back to playing in the dirt! Happy to read your comment. <BR/><BR/>Racquel, thanks. There's never been more wildlife than now!<BR/><BR/>Karen, thank you so much!<BR/><BR/>Randy, glad to read this. I've been out in the yard for the major part of the day photographing more wildlife. I wish I could see dragonflies emerging as in your photos!<BR/><BR/>Gail, thanks. Very happy to have you here!<BR/><BR/>Nancy, thanks. When I saw the fruit for the first time, I thought it was the most striking red I'd ever seen!<BR/><BR/>Susie, thanks. The hibiscus happens to be my favourite too! As for the bird/birds, they come every afternoon. I was lucky that I could photograph it the other day.<BR/><BR/>Shailaja, I love the skippers! And I'm seeing new ones! Ashoka is a small tree. Mine is about 10ft in height. I kept a bird house there and looks like it's being used now...The blooms have a faint beautiful fragrance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000965361716090014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142842012400714232.post-28984298035538123232009-03-16T09:10:00.000+05:302009-03-16T09:10:00.000+05:30Your garden screams, "Everyone's invited!"
