the wings are what got me, not large but so shimmering they almost over expose

and unfortunately the humming bird photos are a little muddled and not so crisp because I'm shooting through a double pane window, same with the crows, both are very skittish and don't like to see me at all

easily propagated is an understatement, leave a broken one on the ground and soon another plant springs forth!
