Ok... so I followed the link gg posted and this is what I found... I guess Monica isn't the only one to head to the woods with that yuck! "During the spring and summer of 2003 and early summer 2004, numerous sightings were reported. The slime mold is usually found growing in mulched areas near homes and office buildings, but can appear in forested areas as well."

I was in a hurry last night when I responded. The plant in the first pix looked like 'Choc Soldier' to me then. That's why Jeff is referring to his decoder ring not seeing it. Ha ha! I was wrong. Now, seeing last pic, it looks like K. tomentosa, as he said earlier. Sorry for confusion!

lilyumestar, I am glad to have been of help! Now that you have a name (that helps a lot when you're trying to figure out how to take care of something), you will be able to look up it's care requirements and give it the proper conditions to make it happy! Planto

I know very little about glassware, but I note this one has a glass stopper. To aid the experts, some more information would be helpful. Can you supply:? 1, Size 2. Any nomenclature on the bottom of the bottle. 3. Does the stopper have a frosted appearance on the stopper surface? The glass container appears to be an ordinary molded glass container. I recall seeing bottles like this one among toiletry selections on M'lady's dresser in the 1940s. It may have held a splash-on cologne or a skin moisturizer. These bottles were about 6 inches tall or less. The problem with glass stoppers is that unless treated with a sealer, the alcohol content will evaporate over the course of a few months. A thin film of vaseline on a frosted stopper helped. The second problem is these stoppers can jam in the bottle neck. The third problem is that if the stopper is shoved in too hard, it can burst the bottle neck. A good bottle will have a substantial rim to resist these forces.
