Agaves bloom in Autumn

It is the week after the autumn equinox and the Yuccas have shot up their magnificent flowers, and the Draceana variegated has a spike.
After a whole season of photosynthesising I guess they have enough energy to flower.
Red is the predominant colour of flowers and there are many birds about.

The Salvia are in flower and geraniums and Canna.
The basil, (maybe native to Aust maybe Holy Basil) is in bloom again. It is a great bee attractant.
Day temp 24°C  night 12 °C
