In the Garden

American Gold Finches and Pine Siskins
are regular visitors at the feeder.

An unusual topping for a Foxglove. Apparently, a
recessive gene causes a mutation that turns the
terminal flower into a symmetrical dish.

The same flower  altered its colour from yellow
to more pink after several days.

He likes to hang out here.

Looks like a bumper crop of Mirabelle Plums coming up.
