I wanna take that age test. Please post info and link if possible.
The barred owl pair are amazing. More amazing that you can photo them that close. We've got three great horned owls in our Atlanta woods. Maybe Mom, Dad and baby 'cause it's their nesting season. I saw one with a squirrel and it is huge (the owl)!
Had a huge surprise and unexpectedly scored on the orchid front here at Maypop. We are prepping the kitchen garden and went of to a Big Box for lime and manure. Lawdy, lawdy they had blooming, named and awarded Tolumnias for $6.95. Here in Southern Appalachia, rural GA! Three followed me home. Then there was a young, but close to bloom size, Epicatt. Rene Marques 'Flame Thrower' for cheap that was worth a sudden lapse in my species rule. I'll post photos in a few days.
Todd, you grow orchids that are so unique to me and I love them all. I'm feeling accomplished with a bit of success in the Paph. department.
