WHY????
Early this morning, I was out shooting backlit crabapple and Rhody pics and saw that my ONE AND ONLY Fritilliaria meleagris, had produced TWO little blooms but they were still not illuminated by the sunshine- so I came in to wait a few minutes. When next I checked, the LEAVES and STEM were in the sun- but NO FLOWERS!!!! It was either a VERY fast rabbit OR a squirrel or chipmunk. I'm betting on either of the latter two! Anyway, when I went out to look- there were the two blooms, face up, partially nibbled - ON THE GROUND!!!! WHY?? If they were hungry, I guess I could understand. This happens EVERY spring! Grrrr!!!
