Jean! Hi! You changed your username! Good to see you. That is one gorgeous Phaius you have there! I dug up two of my Phaius and brought them into the back porch, left two or three others in the ground. I don't think any of them survived our horrid winter. It's supposed to be in the mid 30's again tonight and some area's west are expecting frost. You are only @20 - 25 miles west of me over there in Deland, are y'all expecting frost? Or, are you even back in Florida yet? I lost so many plants this winter but my house is small and there was just not enough room to bring them all inside!
You like my avatar huh? I did have my picture up but got sick of looking at myself. I got 12" of my hair cut so the picture didn't look like me anymore anyway ... the Cardinal is much better! I love taking pictures of birds. I have about 14 seed feeders and 3 suet feeders in the yard and fill the seed feeders twice a day. We get a lot of birds year round, common ones like the Cardinal, Blue Jay, Mourning Dove, Mockingbird etc. but this winter I've seen a lot of new ones ... quite a few Painted Buntings (the males look like little rainbows), a couple of warblers, and some others that we don't often see around here. Two weeks ago a Sharp Shinned Hawk got a Dove in the backyard and decided to eat it right there on the ground. I was amazed that I walked to within 6' of that bird with it's dinner and it just ate and watched me and ate some more before taking off. I got some good pic's ... posted a few on the Wild Birds Cubit.
