Wow, Foskey17, when I looked up 'Lemon Meringue' I saw a picture from Decobug that the bloom was the exact same with the red stamens in just the very center. It's lovely. The bad news is that it is supposed to be over 6'. That means in Fl it will be 8' or 9' I have no room. Oh well, I'll figure it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

there is no limit to the spread of seed.. when it comes out of a birds butt ... lol ... though with this tight little grouping.. that bird must have had one heck of a problem one morning ... that is my deep thought for the day .. lol ... other than that.. my kids like to carry pods ALL OVER THE GARDEN .... so that is an option if you have that type of vermin in the yard .... my fave is the armloads of dandylions .. walking thru the garden paths .... blowing the seed everywhere.. ek gad ken PS: what is the dead thing in the middle of the grouping.. a tree leaf.. or the remnant of the pod???

Yep, gardeners are nice folks, Lauren! Nice haul! YOu've got it bad now! :P Here we go: 1. Ledebouria socialis, Silver Squill 2. Aloe 'Pink Blush' (most likely-on the market now) 3. Haworthia retusa (maybe var. retusa, as well) 4. Sempervivum sp. 5. Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi 6. Sedum nussbaumerianum 7. you got it, Euphorbia milii ~Rosemarie

Had to copy/paste this from over on the birder's forum. Hey, you found me! FYI, one of the posters on that forum stated that it looked like a recluse, and that is the post I am referring to in my response. I'm afraid my reputation as a spider authority must have been slightly inflated somewhere along the line...I can only echo what many have already said and say it looks like one of the trapdoors to me as well. With all due respect, Rachel, I'm sorry to have to disagree with you an the recluse tag. While I can't say what it IS, I am VERY familiar with my old friend the brown recluse and have to work every day in close proximity with them and this is happily not Dakster's creature. The whole body configuration, the leg structure, overall stocky dimensions are completely dissimilar. I also repeat what others have mentioned, that if it were a photo of an undead spider things might be easier to see. "undead spider"...there's a special phrase sure to lodge in the minds of any arachnophobes reading. You mentioned phoebe vs. pewee. Now that would be wonderful, if spiders made noise. Sometimes that's the only way I can reliably tell what bird I'm seeing up in the canopy! I will be checking back periodically to see what you've come up with on this one!!
