Finches and Plant Delivery

Finally after waiting patiently to see what birds were eating my sunflower heads, today was the day. I heard chirping when I went outside on the sun porch. Eating and plucking shells, were 2 finches. One bright yellow and black, and another muted colored. The first time I've seen a male and female. The picture isn't the best as it was taken through the porch window. Also received my plant ordered in July from Planterina. The only size available was small so I ordered it. Made the mistake of not buying a large one earlier this year at Home Depot. Of course it wasn't there when I went back. This one is small a single plant. Maybe that's the charm and I be able to see it grow into a large plant. That's funny because for me they're slow growers. The most important part I've learned to keep them alive in my house is not watering them often. I've killed a few this way. Now I water maybe every 3 weeks to a month. Decreased watering has not helped mine grow faster. Until I see another one in the nursery, I'll be happy with this one.

Can you see him (lower right). Sorry for poor picture quality taken through the window.

Single plant but healthy and lots of new growth opening.
