Thank you. I waited so long to visit the park as I knew it is time for the aloe flowers to be in full flower,but every time something came up. I will see if I can go there again next week some time.

I know when the aloe blooms here in the spring, I have so many gorgeous birds visiting. But when the blooms are gone, I still get different birds in for the hundreds of plums in the neighbor's tree that hangs over into my backyard.  And as the plums are turning purple and falling in my garden, I have blackberries and grapes that I share with my wildlife. :-)
