Update-- here's a newer pic:

I could get better pictures of it with my digital camera tommorrow, if necessary (these were from my flatbed scanner). http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/wthmohit1.jpg http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/wthmohit2.jpg http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/wthmohit3.jpg |

It is a very exotic looking beast when it grows on the cedar tree.
