Lotus Bloom
My Lotus has bloomed, http://darofamily.com/jeff/easyurl/pondphotos.htm.
Click on July 28th for pictures. I also think I have a raccoon or other critter visiting. Some of plants are knocked over, and two of the planters are moved off their shelves. Also found some interesting droppings near the pond edge. -- BenignVanilla Pond Site: www.darofamily.com/jeff/links/mypond |

How I tell .. The full bloom is creamy colored with
pinkish color around the sides of the bloom. It is so easily identified. Usually, the aroma guides me right to it...'course mine aren't out in the middle of my pond either. lol MPDS changes color every day. Looks like you have a day two or three. First day it opens, it is a lovely pink. Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "BenignVanilla" wrote in message ...

AK! I expected a lovely picture of a lotus and I opened to a picture of raccoon poop! I'm betting that is who is trashing your pond. If he comes back what are you planning to do. Traps, scarecrow sprinklers and/or fi-shock fencing usually do the trick. (With the fi-shock fence you get revenge too ;-) k30a yearly brother website posting http://www.30acreimaging.com/ |

And my dog is no so petite in her work. I figure a dead fish, knocked over plants in the shallows...must be a coon. I must ask this question seriously...does that picture look like coon poop? If so...I am getting the bro-in-law's paint ball gun, and will be doing some camping this weekend. Night vision vid cam on tripod, paint ball gun on max setting. BV. |

The teenagers just got DSL so that means mom can research to her heart's
content. I found a picture ~ http://www.pestquest.info/expertise/ (ewww!) and descriptions ~ Raccoon scat tends not to have points, often having a more blunt end appearance (sometimes compared to a Tootsie Rollâ„¢). Scat (droppings) is generally dark coloured but that depends on what the animal has been eating.Â* Scat has a granular appearance and tends to be even in width like dog droppings are.Â* Raccoon scat is tubular and blunt on the ends. Scat may contain parasites that can get into human lungs, so handling it is not advisable. .I am getting the bro-in-law's paint ball gun, and will be doing some camping this weekend. Night vision vid cam on tripod, paint ball gun on max setting. Another nomination for Roark Over the Top Pond Engineering Award. I want to hear ALL the details. Reminds me of my Gerbil in Glass Tank with Video Recording to catch THE SNAKE in the house. k30a yearly brother website posting http://www.30acreimaging.com/ |

Oh, Nedra, you call the Mrs. PDS' smell an 'aroma'? To my nose, they stink!
Mine has a smell of when someone uses perfume to try to cover up a nasty smell. The two smells combine, making it worse. Do other lotus' smell better? -- Wendy* in N.

But, Wendy, MPDS has the strongest aroma of any of the
lotuses. That is my interpreation it anyway. Maybe Perry's Super Star is close. Which is not surprising since they are related. Your nose is funny! lololol Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Wendy Kelly Budd" wrote in message ink.net...

I don't have a clue about Bradford Pear, BV. ... I do know that MPDS has a
Strong sweet scent. Now, it may stink to some - to me it is devine ;-) Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "BenignVanilla" wrote in message ...

I think so. John, don't you think raccoon inspired face paint would be appropriate for this action? And I think he should rise out of the pond like Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now. k30a yearly brother website posting http://www.30acreimaging.com/ |
