I still haven't decided if the shadows on some of the petals are cast from the front or from the back.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-31444500857056753052008-03-28T22:31:00.000-05:002008-03-28T22:31:00.000-05:00Runaway, thanks for imagining that my posts are th...Runaway, thanks for imagining that my posts are thought-provoking. :)Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-54015119335689431392008-03-28T19:45:00.000-05:002008-03-28T19:45:00.000-05:00You caught them Gen.JamesPS: Liked the verse of Ro...You caught them Gen.<BR/>James<BR/>PS: Liked the verse of Romans that you directed me to.

None of these plants were native to the area. While digging in that area one year, my dad and I came upon what looked like blocks remaining from an old foundation. Your post about flowers coming up where old homes had stood reminded me of that discovery. I used to wonder what happened to the family that had lived there perhaps a hundred years or more in the past. Thank you for your thought-provoking posts.Runawayimaginationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392405682285496123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-87017976769765465972008-03-26T20:14:00.000-05:002008-03-26T20:14:00.000-05:00Actually, it gives me a guilty conscience to use t...Actually, it gives me a guilty conscience to use the name "buttercup" for a daffodil because that name already belongs to a little Nebraska wildflower in my mind -- perhaps the same one you're talking about. I would know it if I saw it. :)Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-38369251929147634472008-03-26T18:41:00.000-05:002008-03-26T18:41:00.000-05:00My dad and I try to sort out the names, "jonquil",...My dad and I try to sort out the names, "jonquil", "daffodil", and "narcissus" nearly every spring because we can never remember the distinctions for all those months. To us, a "buttercup" is not related to the daffodil family. "Buttercup" is a small simple orange-yellow flower with round petals on a short, skinny stem. It resembles a strawberry blossom.Collagemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818246340865714754noreply@blogger.com
