Blodyn- I found something online called a Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris) here: http://mihummingbirdguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/earth-day-april-22-2008.html
I read that they're closely related to the buttercup. The center of this flower looks different to me than the buttercups. Buttercups have that starwberry looking center, right? Plus, this flower has very faint black lines that run through the petals and I don't see that in any of the (many ) pictures that I looked at online. I photographed this flower in San Francisco, so I'll have to wait till I'm back in that area to check out the leaves :) The picture of the Buttercup on page 3 is different than this one, it wasn't the same plant. They could be kissin' cousins though. I'm sorry to bother you and thanks for your help :)

What a sweet little bunny rock.

Oh, love dragonflies. Do you have more pics of them? I gonna have to look now :)

You're welcome Mike. The funny thing is, at the show there was this one guy complaining to his friend about all the digital photography going on at art shows. He was saying that people don't come to just enjoy the art anymore; like you're supposed to, I guess. He said it was like we were working. His comment made me kind of mad. I understand what he's saying, digital photography has changed the way people view art and maybe it's annoying for those who don't take pictures at shows. But for me, I thought of it as... I'm going to see some amazing work from an artist that I admire, it may be a one time thing to see it in person and I wanted to capture it and save it and share it. Is that so wrong?? I don't think so :)

I didn't get a photo of the leaves...I think that that's tem in the blurry background :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the artist's work :)

Oh ,those are so freakin' cute! I want some. Lucky ;)

I got the dark ones. I like this one.

Ditto, Lori.

Wow, how old is it? It looks really big. Beautiful. :)

Nice asian man. What's he made of?

OOOH, I want one. Nice flower.

Ah, a compass :)

I like the triangular planter boxes.

I love your little cabin, it's so cute.

Wow, Greenthumb. I have this plant and I have it in a hanging basket that has really bad soil. I always forgot to water it and it it's not dead but it looks pretty bad. I bought it because I loved the flowers(reminded me of Streptocarpus) and it hasn't flowered for me. I just watered it this morning, and thought I need to do something with you... Any reccomendations? Yours is lovely.

I like your wagon planter Greenthumb, it's very nice and nostalgic :)

I like this plant. I used to have one, just yellowish orange though. I killed it somehow. I need to get another one.

Thanks Grammazoo.

I know which print you're referring to. I think that it's a tire track filled with water reflecting trees.

Yeah, it caught my eye. It's very different looking than most calla lilies that I' ve seen.

What a clump, OMG, so many. I bet it's gorgeous in full bloom :)

Me too Blodyn.

It must be Super salvia. It's so pretty w/ Mick Jagger lips ;)

Oh-lala. Nice closeup.

These are very pretty.

Oh, this one's going into my favs. Nice job Grammazoo.

It's so dark and beautiful.

That a very pretty flower!

I've got one very similar to this. Do you deadhead your? And does it reflower for you?
