Oh man, I could go on forever about this post, I am so excited!! You had a picture yesterday, but I can't find it now!!! It showed the flower from the top and it was going around kind of circular. It looked just like the moonflower (flowers that only bloom at night) pics I posted quite awhile ago! So I thought this might be some kind of moonflower, and I was right! The shape must be the same on all the early blooms of moonflowers. This is really spectacular!! I have never seen one like it!! Phil is sitting here and I turned the laptop around to show him because it is so pretty. He took one look at it and said "Deadly Nightshade"!!!! I said how did you know, we have never seen a flower like this. He said it just looked dark and forbidding. That is his words. I don't really think it does. This is one of my top ten posts from you. Now I want these flower guessing games all the time. How about buying a bunch of weird seeds, you will have enough for tons of posts!!! I'm going to send you that blooming moonflower picture, see what you think. It is the same shape. You continue to be an artist with your headers!!! I hope Jake and Baby stay away from it!Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-64491004863933441182011-07-28T10:57:04.893-04:002011-07-28T10:57:04.893-04:00Then be careful with it -
