Last year I saw a squirrel cut the top of one of my columbines (3 - 4 inc=
hes high).
When I rushed out to scare it off, it dropped the stem down. The columbin=
e died.

It may be a rabbit also.

Squirrels are abundant... I didn't think they'd be doing it for two

1. they usually dig and eat the bulb if they can

doing more damage.

I would never have imagined the reason they were doing it, but now that=

you say it, it makes perfect sense! Thanks for the info!

The little buggers are very curiuos and if they think it has seed in =
