Here at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History, we sometimes 
tolerate exotic plants because they are pleasing to the eye and 
aren't quite so invasive. That's the case with Asiatic Dayflower, the 
subject of a "short week" edition of "This Week at Hilton Pond."
To view some unusual photos of this bright blue blossom from the 
Orient, visit the installment for 28-31 August at 
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030829.html
There are also some notes about a brief influx of Ruby-throated 
Hummingbirds, plus a link to a posting about the Rufous Hummingbird 
we banded on 30 August at Indian Land SC.
Happy Nature Watching!
BILL
