Winter flowers

Almost everything that blooms here in winter is either red or orange. These aloes happen to have a malachite sunbird seeking nectar.

This month I will focus on winter blooms.

The color of the flowers steals the interest in the bird, but when you notice it, you have a wonderful scene.
