Welcome to the club. Where there's a bunny, there's a Mommy somewhere nearby. My DH just laughs at me when he tells me about the ones he sees running around the yard. He loves seeing my reaction when I'm and about them. I had phlox in 3 gal. pots that I'd been unable to plant. When I looked at them to plant this past fall, I only saw stems. I couldn't believe it. Oh year, the Mommy is so fat, so can barely hop away. My FIL was a good hunter, but he is deceased. Anyone for rabbit stew? Free rabbits here. All you have to do is sit on my patio about 5 or 6 pm and they will emerge from the bushes around the house and head for my flower border.

I'm planting more fragrant plants with hairy leaves to try to deter them. Some years, they choose other yards, but last year, they chose mine. And DH is to blame as he's got wood piles from oak trees lost in previous ice storms that he's failed to remove. Convenient homes for those rascals. I was sick last summer, but I'm on the warpath this year. Oops, I'm off my soapbox. I'll try to get some photos of blooming perennials that haven't been mowed down by the rabbits or deer.
