June 2025 in the Southern Hemisphere

This is definitely winter now!
We've had frosts and finally some rain. Parts of southern Australia have been experiencing drought while the north has been having floods! This is certainly a land of contrasts.
Here is the main offering to start this thread - Narcissus 'First Stanza' raised by Lawrence Trevanion in Canberra from a crossing of Narcissus elegans var fallax with Narcssus 'Soleil d'Or'. Pics taken a few days apart - the second two after an attack by critters - possibly parrots.
cheers

All parts of Narcissus are supposedly poisonous to birds, not sure about your native parrots.

Hmm!  Hummingbirds feed on the nectar here in Maine, US with seemingly no I'll effect

I am no avian expert but did google the topic and that is what I posted.
