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
