a lizard in your home is lucky, right?
I've heard it said that lizards in the home are lucky.
In particular, geckos.
I had plenty of geckos at my last home, mostly outside, but occasionally one would find its way inside.
There were plenty of skinks too.
Here in this new home, I haven't seen a single gecko or a skink either.
But I heard odd noises from the front porch late last Saturday afternoon and went out to see what the heck was going on out there.
I saw a blue tongue lizard trying to hide under the "gecko house".
Probably just after a bit of shade I suppose.
Naturally I raced for the camera and hoped he'd still be there when I got back with it.
He was.
It was a hot day here in Adelaide, so after taking this photo, I put a small dish of water within reach for him, then left him alone.
He's disappeared now, living somewhere in the gardens, and he wasn't in my home, just on the front porch, but I still think I'm lucky just for having seen him at all.

I just knew a blogger would come through and give you the answer.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; ain't blogland wonderful!
DeleteSuper interesting plant. I looked up the hardiness zones to see if they could grow where I live. Not even close but still think it's a neat plant.
ReplyDeleteCheryl; it's an African plant, so should do well here in my dry patch.
DeleteOh good. It still hadn't come to me.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; glad I could help. Are you going to get one? I think they're from bulbs, but won't know until I shop for them.
DeleteI have written it down .
ReplyDeleteMerle............
Merle; me too, on the back of the photo I printed.
DeleteThe flowers are GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Elf Christine; gorgeous enough to make me want to know what they are so I could get some.
