This is my grandson Ross and his Girlfriend Alexa ...she is studying in Spain and he went over on Spring break to spend a week with her... They are both great kids and have been together since she was in the 11th grade and he was just starting college... He is a UT senior and will do a bike ride next summer raising money for cancer research from Austin Texas to Alaska

Ok, I looked it up and it is Ostrich fern, but also found out people have gotten very sick from eating them due to not cooking them long enough.... good to know. Editing to add the following:"The term fiddlehead is used to refer to plants in 3 ways: (1) the young curled leaf of any fern; (2) the ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris of the Aspidaceae family); and (3) the young curled leaf of the ostrich fern used as a vegetable (often called fiddlehead greens). "

This is my latest dog. Greta. It wasn't taken at my house but at the previous owner's who decided after 1 day to return her to the shelter because she was "too big" for her 1 bedroom apartment. Hard to believe there are people as ignorant as that. Her loss, my gain.

Nicole, Polychroma and Bonfire spurges don't spread themselves around. In the 12 or more years that I have had them here, I have seen maybe a half dozen or so seedlings of the Polychroma, and none from Bonfire. Euphorbia Chameleon is a nightmare of a spreader. I have been fighting it for 15 years. It shows up in a different place in my yard every year.
