I just couldn't resist a few more photos of what mother nature was doing in the swamp. The pink one to the left is one of the native azaleas. I think there are about fifteen different types, but this one and an orange one are the only ones I've seen here. Some people mistake it for honeysuckle because of the way the blossoms look and because it has the most wonderful smell. The purple one is Spiderwort. The purple flower you see will last only a morning before it is gone, but you can see the buds below. Each stem will produce around twenty flowers before it disappears. The Spiderwort is edible and has been used as a medicinal plant to treat insect bites and other ailments.

Nice pix, Sunny. I especially liked the Spiderwort. Very pretty.
Really hate the word verification thing. In order for me to post a comment, I got to type in the secret letters below my comment. I'd merely be a mild irritation, but it sometimes makes me do it about four times, and I'm never sure if you actually got my comment until I check back a few hours later.
If you want to ditch the word verification, go to "new post", then "settings" and you'll get a place to eliminate verification.
Um, I might actually be a major irritation. I meant "It'd" be a minor irritation...
It took me three tries to post the last comment.
perty
Looks like you got a new fan, Sunny.
