I don't believe you said calendula! My first seed lesson from my Mom was a calendula! It's an annual here in our zone. It drops its seeds and germinates in the spring. Cheery yellow and orange flowers with some brown centres, small daisy-like flowers...used as a very old remedy for varicose veins. And they have rhizomes, Moccasins? You mean I can buy them in that form? I've only seen seeds. I'll look into it. Thanks, Bernd! A live trap is the humane way to deal with rabbits for sure. This morning he/she left me two roses on the ground to put in a vase! Yes, from my Knock Out rose...at least it produces flowers quickly. These bunnies are multiplying..someone saw the mother the other day...4sighted so far between the houses. I'm being told I offer the best buffet in the neighbourhood but I wish someone else would have that honour!! :(

Definitely a roseate spoonbill. Their color can change from a pale pink to a bright pink depending on the amount of Crustaceans that they consume. I see them down here all the time, and it's amazing how the colors can vary amongst the bird.

lol my first thought was in MN??!! LOL very nice pics! are u down here now? we're having record warm weather, not very christmasy at all & running the A/C ~ liz

Old Time Memories' color catches my eye, and I like Lady on Fire too, the rounded form on Moving Forward is just about perfect and First Addiction is calling to me too. It's a hard choice with so many really nice ones......Maryl.
