Oriole Ready

Posted by mothernaturesgarden on December 27, 2008

img_5337When the beautiful Baltimore orioles return, I’m ready to attract them. I know they hang out in the tops of the trees especially the tulip tree/ yellow poplar. Maybe now I can entice them to come down where we can appreciate them. This feeder design is the best for easy cleaning. Oriole nectar is one part sugar to six parts water.

Tree of Enchantment

Here is a lovely garden art glass ornament about gazing ball size that my daughter gave me for Christmas. I would never have chosen it but since she did, I like it. It’s heavy duty. I know just the perfect place for it in the garden.
