I was fairly new to your site then had to redo my blog list and . . . anyway now I can put you back. Your pictures are something, I'm starting to compile a list of cameras people use because mine was acting up the other day. I've heard of Dutchman’s breeches quite a few times now but have never seen them that I know of. Great post!!! <blockquote>RainGardener, I'm still trying to find some Dutchman's Breeches in bloom.

RainGardener,
I’m still trying to find some Dutchman’s Breeches in bloom. So far they’ve eluded me :( But I did finally catch some Jack in the Pulpit blooming today)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 – excellent Point and Shoot camera

jodi,
Even the far right can love a bleeding Heart :)

We rush out with cameras if that white stuff ever falls from the sky. We also have a native bleeding heart, Dicentra formosa, and I found it growing wild up our lane just a week or so ago. It likes shade and is not deer tolerant so I have a hard time keeping it in my garden. Your photos are lovely - the foliage very soft and touchable looking - evocative! Your wife and I have lower appendages of a similar temperature! Mouse feet are smaller, of course, so less of a bother :-D <blockquote>Country Mouse, Thank Blotanical. It made it much easier to find some 'native' blogs. Cold feet - warm heart :) or is it because I make her blood boil and rise to her head?</blockquote> Thanks for visiting our Central (or Northern, depending on who you read) California blog, Wiseacre.

Country Mouse,
Thank Blotanical. It made it much easier to find some ‘native’ blogs.

Cold feet – warm heart :)
