Rhododendron with honey bee commented on by Stanks NYC, New York, USA11 years ago

Thanks! I was very happy to see a bee buzzing around in the park by my house. It's sometimes hard to spot them in NYC.

I love, love, love puffins. :-)

Thanks Laura! Sadly the blossoms are long gone but they were pretty while they lasted. :-)

Very pretty.

Japanese Cherry commented on by Stanks NYC, New York, USA12 years ago

P.S. I'm sure you are right! Thanks again!

It's hard to tell--they look so much the same. I'll make the correction. I'm going to go to the nature conservancy near my house and ask them for a map of the plants in the parks surrounding where I live.

Thanks! I'm new to plant identification. I really couldn't tell as I read different things about the colors of apple blossoms. Cherry makes total sense so I'll make the correction. I have another one with white flowers that I tagged as "Apple" for the common name. I'm very new at this. Right now I'm just trying to get families straight. :-) Whoa what fun!

Thanks Christiane! I kept thinking this was part of the Dicentra family but yet knew that couldn't be correct.
