Sunflower City...

Doug cleaned the fishpond in the courtyard today...













which at the moment has an 'umbrella' of feral sunflowers in full bloom...

the bees have discovered it too!








Pretty soon, the parrots will arrive and snap off the sunflower heads with scissor-like precision (typically this is a late January phenomenon). Pink nd Grey Galahs, Twenty Eights (Port Lincoln Parrots) and sometimes Whiter-tailed Black Cockatoos and Rainbow Lorikeets...

for now, it's just the bees...
