Lots of things you write about your garden are very familiar in my garden even so my garden is in the southern hemisphere, the wildlife looks completely different. Caladiums are very exotic, colourful plants. They have never really done well in my garden or I have not taken enough care. Do they die off too in winter in your garden?Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-4655236065130513982008-07-03T03:36:00.000-04:002008-07-03T03:36:00.000-04:00Seeing those birds come in to your water sprinklin...Seeing those birds come in to your water sprinkling makes me realize how dry it must be there. When birds come that close for water they are almost desperate. It is a good thing that you take such good care of them. They reward you by coming near. You have quite an assortment of birds coming to your garden. I can see why it is beautiful.

I grew up in Winter Haven but now live on about 5 acres between Ft. Myers and Lake Okeechobee. My blog is a mixed bag, but if you have time to come visit, you will see that I enjoy photography and our beautiful flora and fauna, too.

They love it. I think yours was way more personal an experience.<BR/><BR/>GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-56472108058951264722008-07-02T22:01:00.000-04:002008-07-02T22:01:00.000-04:00This post and pictures are so enjoyable.
