I saw some more springtime bloomers out & about yesterday, so more and more to enjoy now, thanks Loree.<br /><br />Jackie: I'm guessing that the memory was firmly imprinted via a bit of shrieking at the time?

It's a sign of these troubled times, I suppose. I am glad autumn is making itself felt here and the nasty mosquitoes have fled somewhere warmer.

Unfortunately I can't remember its name, but it was almost 6 inches across. With the absence of Tobacco, also went the Moth.
