Hi, I made a photobucket album for you to look at, I couldn't find your e-mail so feel free to e-mail me from the link on my page. I just took the pictures in the rain so keep that in mind they may appear dark. The yews I have grow in dense shade and any soil, they are currently in very sandy dry soil w/lots of shade and grow well despite the horrid conditions. Like I said some are smaller and some are really huge. Here's the link to the album, just scroll down to view the pictures. -Sheila Here is a link that might be useful: photos of plants

I'm bringing this back to the front, because I forgot all about it!!! I'll let you guys guess some more (no one has it right yet) then I promise I'll post the answer.

LOL Casey. Hey, have you tried guessing any of them?? I usually post the answer the following day; along with the new photo. That way, the question and answer on the same thread doesn't fall off and get lost in the shuffle.

I don't see a crystalline structure, so I don't think that it is salt. It really looks like a manufactured substance to me...like a polyester stuffing or something. Then again, it reminds me of angelfood cake crumbs!! Is the black background part of the story?
