Glen - I had to laugh at the very last 2 lines in your article ....
"The beauty of ATP is that one can watch the feeding frenzy even from here at the bottom of the world, and one is definitely richer for the experience because one does not spend all the money they do. Upside down has some advantages."
So true!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article and seeing several of your photos! You do have some amazing daylilies ... and birds!
It was also fun seeing your blooms during "our" winter here in North America on the Daylily Forum. I suspect that is one of the busiest forums here on ATP! And you've been a great contributor with all your posts and photos from Australia! Thanks for adding to the daylily frenzy here on ATP!
