We took a cruise with Windjammer, a smaller very laid-back company which is unfortunately no longer in business. It was big fun, but a floating city holds no appeal to me.Joy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06200194467024962551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-9463195855348152002010-05-31T10:50:53.114-06:002010-05-31T10:50:53.114-06:00This post has been included in the latest edition ...This post has been included in the <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2010/05/the_best_of_the_best_in_plant.php" rel="nofollow">latest edition of the Berry Go Round web carnival</a>.

Although it looks like it could be either Yellow-rumped, <i>Cacicus cela,</i>, or Yellow-winged, <i>C. melanicterus</i>, the Yellow-rumped supposedly doesn’t occur much North of Panama, whereas PV is smack dab in the Yellow-winged’s range. Great job- thanks!Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248341788957416471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-20141511763086617812010-04-23T16:11:27.147-06:002010-04-23T16:11:27.147-06:00That mystery bird has bee really bothering me.

At about 6 months, when summer arrived, I started putting them out on the back deck for a few hours at a time, but then disaster struck- a digging squirrel uprooted and killed 2. I brought the other 2 back inside. About a year later I tried starting 4 more seedlings; 2 sprouted, but neither lasted. The original 2 are still doing OK; 1 looks good, the other iffy. Though both grow beautiful soft blue needles, neither has yet moved out of the immature phase and developed fascicles, which I expected them to do around year 2. (It’s year 4 now.) Next project: Build a small chicken-wire enclosure and put them outside full-time in the summer months.<br /><br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_6LWjP0sZ22w/SbhDF0hCZ_I/AAAAAAAADxE/39zJ289_0n8/s1600-h/IMG_83575.jpg" rel="nofollow">Here’s a photo</a> of one of the seedlings from a year ago.
