Well ... it isn't really off topic, it's just showing a hoya bloom with a Lil' Critter enjoying the nectar!
I never knew about the nectar stuff until a few months ago when Carol and a couple of others talked about it. Since then, I have noticed nectar dripping from brevialata and wayettii blooms. I was just outside a few minutes ago walking around the pool and looking at my plants and noticed two little anole lizards on one of the brevialata plants. They were slurping up the nectar from blooms like they were dying of thirst! They really liked the stuff!
It's real humid out (what else is new here in Fla?) so these pic's are a bit hazy from the camera lens being fogged up but you can see the little critter drinking the nectar. I had to come running in to get my DH to see it but he wasn't too fazed ... I guess he realizes it doesn't take much to amuse me.
