This medium-sized shrub is spectacular when in flower. The blooms are brilliant red and really stand out. The foilage is also attractive with light green kidney shaped leaflets, appearing in pairs. This particular variety grows approximately six to seven feet and is always in bloom. For those interested in bright colours, this is a must.
The flowers open 9 to 10 months out of the year (often resting in midwinter) and remain for 6 to 8 weeks, their unusual form and bold color attracting attention despite the plant's small stature. 1 to 2 inches across, these blooms offer a nice foil to the soft green leaves of this 10 to 14-inch-high tree. Outdoors, the flowers are butterfly magnets, their nectar attracting many winged visitors.

This miniature horse lives on a small farm across a country road from one of the high schools in the rural county where I work. He was very curious and moved from his water bowl quickly across his small pasture to check me out. It was obvious he was hitting me up food, but my lack of treats didn't make him leave.
Cool is the name of this Miniature Horse. I would have to add 'awesome' to his description. He stands about the same height as my male Great Dane however outweighs him by several hundred pounds. He is still loosing the long shaggy coat and beard that protects him from harsh winter temperatures. He's very even tempered and was an absolute treat to meet!

The Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn's only Zoo, is home to nearly 400 animals of more than 80 species. First established as a small menagerie in Prospect Park in the late 1800's, this collection of animals became the more formal Prospect Park Zoo on Flatbush Avenue that opened to the public on July 3, 1935. A Works Progress Administration (WPA) project, the Zoo was part of a massive city-wide park improvement program initiated and executed by former Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. Closed in 1988 for a five year, $37 million dollar renovation program, the zoo was completely replaced save for the exteriors of the 1930's-era buildings. Rededicated on October 5, 1993, it joined Wildlife Conservation Society's (WCS) world-renowned network of wildlife parks in New York City.
Miniature purse prototype - trying out shape and stuff - flap just hangs over - underneath will have a zipper closure. I'm thinking it needs to be a bit taller - maybe a tad taller than wider? Hmm. Excuse the weird fabric and all - this was just sitting there so I grabbed it and cut it up to use for the prototype. Oh, and will be lined too. Open pocket in the back on the inside or zipper pocket?
