荷包牡丹在我們這兒叫中尉之心。雖然不知為何是中尉，不是上尉或少尉，總覺得很有故事性，很浪漫呢！

葉子真的和草本牡丹很像，但也就只有葉子像了，花倒完全兩個樣。不管是牡丹或荷包牡丹，我都很喜歡！

我家附近野生的bleeding heart 是淺紫色。

昨天逛苗圃，拍到剛上市的“荷包牡丹”

美麗而特別的牡丹

寡聞的我初見

多謝

又上了一課

朋友家種了bleeding heart   串串紅心掛在枝上果然好看的緊

至於Dutchman's breeches 倒還沒親眼見過  過兩天得到園藝店找找看  殺殺這被你引起的好奇心

我google到的名稱由來好像有點遜:

"What do these flowers look like to you? To some people, the small, puffy flowers look like miniature Dutch pantaloons. That's where the name Dutchman's breeches comes from. " http://dnr.wi.gov/org/caer/ce/eek/veg/plants/dbreeches.htm

I rescued a baby bird yesterday in my property.  One died, the other one survived.  I called SPCA first thing this morning in spite my friend said SPCA not gonna bother with a dying bird. (I thought it was a turkey.) 

No, they did.  They even gave me a case number for me to follow up the status.  It turned out it was a dove.  I always ask questions.  They only told me people fed dove too much.  They ended up too heavy to fly then fell off.  I do not think this was my case.  But anyway, I feel like a million bucks.  The baby dove is accepted.  Now I pray for his survival. 

SPCA in my county is huge.  They have different dept for different thing.  Last time, I worked with investigation dept to catch the people who abandoned their kitten.  This time I went to wild animal dept.  The dept is all way up on the hill.  I met a big colorful parrot in the front office.  The entire place, I feel love and humanity.  Not mention, I saw volunteers walking stray dogs in the center.  The entire place is hundreds acres big.  It's just a bit from where I live or I would visit here on a daily basis.

You take good care. hi to all your pets.

love to hear the story of Dutchman's pant or underwear?.

This was what I found out fried egg( spelled incorrectly earlier,  sorry for the misleading), a native here. 

fried egg flower=Matilija Poppy= Romneya /ˈrɒmniːə/[1] is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the poppy family (Papaveraceae). There are two species in genus Romneya, which was named for Irish astronomer John Thomas Romney Robinson.[2] They are known commonly as Matilija poppies (/məˈtɪlɨhɑː/ mə-TIL-i-hah) or tree poppies and are native to southern California and northern Mexico.

怎麼如何亂罵人呢？ 小肉球別生氣。談到政治有的人就失智謾罵。這樣很不好，給自己支持的顏色抹黑啦。 人人有言論自由，各抒己見，口出穢語，不對。我無端被辱罵，故特別同情妳。

看到漂亮的花，想起花花，花花可好？ 我家裡有一棵花樹叫fryegg，今天才知其名。還沒上網查學名和中文，長的就像一個荷包蛋。

天啊~居然有這麼美的花，台灣不知有嗎？
