The Colours Of Christmas ... Gold (more like Yellow ... close enough!)

That is a very novel display.. BB...A very Merry Christmas to you and yours...so good to have you on the site.x

Thanks Meadowland. Season's greetings to you and yours as well.

I'm enjoying being back here, I have to say. It's such a friendly and informative place.

That would make a smashing Xmas card BB. I notice you have a Hummingbird Hawkmoth on one of your photos. If we are lucky we have the odd one up here in July, ours has a spotted tail..

I did think about using this as a Christmas card but didn't have enough time to follow through. Maybe next year.

Yes, good spotting. That is a hawkmoth, but this species is commonly called the Bee Hawkmoth here.

The caterpillars of this Hawkmoth are causing a lot of damage out in the garden, as usual. At this time of the year, they love to feast on my Peace Lilies and Impatiens plants. They pretty much devour almost the whole plant.
