Great pics Noel, your wife is very accommodating, lucky you.
I'm enjoying seeing these photos of plants in their natural habitat.
What is the mud nest? Bugs, birds,? Your talk about ants reminds me of the fire ants I ran afoul of in Costa Rica. One ant per seed pod, of what I can't remember (I think it had 2 horns and 1 little hole), but they were very territorial and delivered a nasty sting.
Good luck on the land deal and can't wait for future pics.
