| Blooming 'Octopus Tree' |
Our neighbor’s Octopus Tree (Scheffiera actinophylla) has bloomed, and the long arms full of flowers have attracted a couple of new visitors to our yard.
Normally, we never see any Common Waxbills (Estrilda astrild) or Yellow-Fronted Canaries (Serinus mozambicus), but there they are this year, gracing our airways with their little tweeps and beautiful colors.
These two species were pretty much a recent discovery for me. I hadn’t heard of, or seen, either of them until maybe a couple of years ago during walks near the beach. You may recall I wrote about them the first time I saw them.
Beauty in nature never fails to impress me:
