Rusty we had a great Bluebird summer. We only have 2 nest boxes but they both fledged multiple broods. One box had 3 broods the other had 2 broods. I think we may need to put up more boxes!RustyDHart said:

Did you get more of them put up yet? It is a really good sight to see Bluebirds. Around here we don't see them much. But we have Stellars Jays, and Scrub Jays, Flickers, two kinds of Woodpeckers. A black headed yellow bird about the size of the Scrub Jay sometimes makes an appearance.

Here are three pics of Parrot flowers that my friend sent to me via email. Even though I am not a big flower grower I think these are beautiful. Please consider one of these for the POW. Thanks.

Those look more like Parrots than any other parrot flowers I've ever seen.

No I don't think they are vines. The only ones I have ever seen were on a bush-like plant.desertlady said:

OK, those parrot flowers are fantastic! Now, how do you grow them and what zones will they handle???
