Marilynne gets it , I think. Let me know

Just like everyone wants a bird of prey shot instead of the sea gull.

Marilynn's, that is so new school. The original artist was Canadian and was popular before anyone had ever heard of Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash.

I went with the first one I found. Actually, this version was listed the most.

Do you know what it is Brad?

It is a Flame Lily - the national flower of Rhodesia when it was still a viable country. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for that Lawrence, I had no idea what it was.
In the past I have cut the vine back until there was not much left, now I will be a bit more careful when I have to prune it.

Rhodesian expats sneaked them into Australia and they are much sort after. They should die back to nothing once the flower dies off. No pruning needed in the natural habitat but that my have changed since being introduced there.

Those sneaky buggers must have stashed them in the bush near my house, now they are growing wild :victorious:

That looks like it alright.
Sounds like they can be a bit of a pest, maybe pruning it right back was a good thing.

The heavenly bamboo is getting ready to bloom out, but there are still plenty of berries left for the finches and sparrows

Good morning my friends - I wish all of you a great beautiful Sunday. We have Sunday now and it's 05.29 in the morning. I am drinking my second nice cup of coffee.
