This morning we have been blessed with some rain so while the garden loves the rain it's not so good for photos. The first picture shows an overall shot of the S. wagneriana peeping over the 1.8 m. trellis with the Lilly-pilly tree behind and a heeble sculpture made by our son in front. I'll send a closer one of the flowers next,
yours etc, Fella
I have taken some pics with my new camera of our Eastern Spinebills which just love the Salvias,
First is one hovering at Geg's S. involucrataxkarwinskii Romantic Rose'
I hope it's not too stretched,
Regards, Fella.
I hope this one is better of an Eastern Spinebill in front of Geg's S. wagneriana looking at me
Sorry about the pictures yesterday, it was my first go with camera and pixels were down low. I've increased them now and will show you a few more which I think are better,
Firstly I fluked two Eastern Spinebills with the one shot ,
much to my surprise when I downloaded them, ( I have no left side vision since my stroke ).
Here they are on Geg's S. wagneriana which is still flowering,
Cheers, Fella.
I'll probably have the pictures too big now but here's one of a Spinebill at Geg's S. madrensis which is still hanging on quite well,
Cheers all, Fella, for Salvia girl who's coming home this Saturday14th
Still on the birds back to one hovering at the wagneriana,
Geg will be more into the plants but blokes like the birds,
Cheers Fella.
Thats a really great pic Fella.You did well to capture it. And the salvia is so lovely too...I'm just starting to collect salvia myself so enjoy seeing your pics,cheers
Edited to say: Your partner is one lucky girl...to have someone who enjoys the garden as much as she does....I'm envious!!LOL

This afternoon I took this picture of one of Geg's
orchids in the garden at our front door,
Cheers, Fella
Geg has a few well established Grevilleas in our front garden,
here is one of the flowers,
Fella.
Great bird shots and salvia shots, thanks for sharing:)
