Another happy accident:

the squirrels kept stealing the glass tube flowers out of my hummingbird feeder. Finally, they took all three.

I now use it as a rooter for my african violet leaves.

It didn't really work well as a feeder, because the sugar water had to be completely full in order to work right, so it wasted a lot of sugar water.

It works much better as a rooter for av leaves because they can rest at their normal position, and slowly root at their leisure. The colored glass helps protect the roots, but still allows me to see in

I was very mad at the squirrels at first, but now glad it happened.
