Baby ducks!
In my previous posts about the Art Goes Wild exhibit at Garden in the Woods, I mentioned that a mother duck was nesting on one of the floating islands. I even tried to take a video of her, but she was pretty elusive. In this video you can just barely make out her head, as she nervously picks at the foliage surrounding her nest.
Today we got some good news. Scott LaFleur, of the horticulture staff, reported that the eggs have hatched and we now have four baby ducklings living in the pond! He sent out these photos of the new family:
We also need to conserve water in South Africa. I read about the xeriscape gardening which is water saving gardening with endemic plants.
Beautiful your photos it is all new to me, I really enjoyed them.
If you have time take a look at our wild flowers. We did some aloe excursions on the blog but the lilies and oxalis in my website is prettier.
It is nice to know that people are starting to appreciate the wild flowers. Don't you agree?

I'm pretty sure they're mallards.
