We were told where they may be, but we were late in the season - would they still be out?  Well we soon found one - only one, the others and there were many of them, had passed on.  Most fertilised!

Only this poor straggler  remained.  Better shots next year is our aim.

Well next year came and we found them in excellent condition - even with the drought.

So new photos.
