Thanks for the thoughts everyone. It just seems like i've been losing something every day recently, and maybe even a tree. I'll start a thread, don't want to stray from the natives here.

Ruthie, now THAT'S what I call a rain barrell! How did you have the foresight to install that? (Was it built onsite? (Looks a lot like a cistern.)

Kip, Congratulations on the rain! (Trying not to be jealous here.) It wasn't even overcast here, but the temps seemed a little cooler today. Are all those seeds from the one columbine? Woa!

trois, How large was that hibiscus-looking flower? I was going through some of last years' photos and found a flower that looks similar to it. This is still in the pot from the nursery, a year later! It's leggy as a result, needs to be in the ground or a real container, and needs more sun I suspect.
