Flora and Fauna



Here's a little front-yard flora for you! Just a pretty pic of my purple coneflower and my portulacas ;) I love portulacas and find them to be a very underrated flower! They're part of the succulent family, grow great in the ground or containers and are very drought tolerant. And they come in a rainbow of colors! The main draw-back is that the flowers only last a day or so..but it blooms all summer long ;)









And of course what better fauna than another shot of those baby birds! LOL They're alot bigger now and will be leaving the nest by early next week!

Very pretty flowers Robin! The birdies have gotten huge! You and Bill did a great job getting pics of those little guys.

Wow...baby birds grow fast! Are they out of the nest now that it's 5 days later?
