    A few of you complemented my Mom's birdfeeder a few months back. Well today she snapped you a new photo and here it is looking all flowery.

    Your mom has a green thumb, and an eye for beauty! That is just lovely. Lucky birds, dining surrounded by such elegance.

    That is a gorgeous scene...dark green, bright red and the brown of the wood. I love it!

    It's a beautiful picture of a beautiful place. It looks so peaceful. Chance approves of it, too. She says watch out for cats, though.

    That is really decorative. I have to tie my Crocosmia up as well, as they flop this way and that.

    It is a nice location for them and the combination of crocosmia and feeder is poetic.

    Definitely a standout picture, the red flowers are eye catchers that draw attention to the feeder.
