I had not really paid much attention to the fatsia in the backyard lately, other than to prune it back. But today you will note that it is flowering.
Fatsia flowering in the fall
As I was picking up leaves off of the lawn (we do not rake yet, we pick) and looking for any other rodent activity or damage some motion caught my eye. It was a hummingbird! I don’t know if I have ever seen one in our backyard. But it was flitting around the fatsia flowers.
You may notice there is no hummingbird in the picture. By the time I had retrieved the camera, it was gone. It added interest to an otherwise uneventful time in the backyard. Leaves were picked and only one area was found where it looked as though some animal was trying to find out what was underneath the new grass. No watering today. Not much rain either, but I figure the soil could use a day of dryerness, and it is supposed to start raining again tonight.
