Got bucket, actually found my clippers, went out and decided to sit in my newly mown lawn (I love my lawn guys--got them trained to touch nothing but the turf grass, maintain a good line along the beds, and keep my brick path weed-eated). When I pulled at a ratty looking flower head to cut it...this is what I found. You never saw a person get up out of the grass so fast.

The devious spawns of the devil didn't have enough dirt to use--so they decided the stalk of the zinnia itself would work just fine......notice the 'catacombs' and everything....I really need to get out and deadhead the zinnas more often after it rains...fireants, I hate them!
