A couple humming birds were collecting honey from the Firebush. They were flying back to the tree beside the small hexagonal structure in front of the Swiss Sky Ride. I assumed that their nest was somewhere in that tree, but I could not locate it.
Leaves of young Sago Palms are growing taller. As the young leaves grow, the color of some older leaves started to brown. The third seed peeked from the feather-like flower of the Sago Palm.
Many Bumble bees, which have brown bands on the abdomen and thorax areas were busily collecting honey from the Esperanza. A couple Bumble bees had yellow pollen balls on their legs. One of them tried to take off that pollen ball from its leg before it got into the flower of the Esperanza. It looked like the pollen stuck on its leg. The bee gave up, and got into the flower to collect more honey. I had not seen that many Bumble bees at once, so this morning was like a special Bumble bee day. The Sotol, which grew next to the Esperanza under the Century Plant, started developing brown leaves.
A big, pale, lime colored Turks Cap that I saw yesterday morning turned to a rosey orange color in one day. The petals were still closed, but it was ready to bloom at any time.
