Gardening: Can anyone identify this?

I found this odd growth on a coneflower plant today. I thought another plant was growing up through the plant, but on closer inspection, the green is coming directly out of the center of the flower!

    Very interesting. I would guess that Barbara W has it right.

  • First, prepare "butterfly food" by mixing nine parts water with one part sugar. Depending on the size of your jar, you'll use either a tablespoon or a teaspoon. 16
  • Let the mixture boil until the sugar is dissolved, and then let it fully cool before putting it in the feeder.
  • Using your nail and hammer, punch a small hole in the lid of the jar. You're going to be cutting your sponge and you want your sponge to fit tightly through the hole, so keep it small. You can always make it bigger as necessary. 10
  • Cut your sponge into strings about one inch wide, and then pull it through the hole so there is about a half-inch of sponge sticking out from the top of the lid.
  • Remember, you want the sponge to stick tightly even when it's wet, so you might need to make it larger than you think. 1

Yard Art

My nephew welded these two birds from an old plow and parts of other farming implements. I added the paint and we now have beautiful yard art!

uses for pottery

Leftover pots and grandaughters old bike become a place to keep garden supplies. Not as fancy as the other pot people bikes but I am a quirky perswon so it works for me.
