Lol, I think I know why I didn't post this before!! Rather too much out-of-focus part! Oh, well, guess I'll leave it here, especially as some of you have very kindly commented on it already. I think this was a plant that I bought from my grocery store.

In total comparison, have any of you read about the Corpse Plant that has just bloomed in Switzerland? On 23 April 2011, it was reported on the BBC News website that this rare plant that has the distinct smell of rotting flesh is attracting large crowds in Switzerland. Thousands of plant lovers are flocking to the Basel Botanical Garden in Switzerland to see a full bloom of a corpse flower. The 17-year-old plant is blooming for the first time. A truly incredible plant!

I was out on a walk all morning, from the Boat Launch to Bankside, Fish Creek Park. This afternoon, I went and got my Taxes done - yay, thank goodness that is out of the way for another year. Then I went to photograph a few Prairie Crocuses before heading home. They were very pale in colour, plus it was very windy, which made it difficult to keep my balance on the steep hillside, and of course the delicate petals were all a-flutter : )

A friend just sent me this link to a feel-good video about a dog and a dolphin:
