More tuberose and hummingbird moths
I just can't tear myself away form the tuberose patch. But it's starting to fade, so I have to keep working before it passes. The hurricane winds that are expected this weekend just might be too much for the flowers.

yesterday's twilight feeding - moths and tuberose
Hummingbird moths having a sumptuous, nectar-laden feast at the tuberose patch yesterday:
I started one drawing of tuberose two days ago and hope to finish it and post it soon.
The intoxicating scent of the blossoms seems to echo at dusk, until the entire patch is fluttering and humming with moths, interrupted by the occasional loud buzzing of some sort of large wasp that feeds on the hummingbird moths.
