Well it is strange to me at any rate. I have photos if someone would look and tell me what it is. Only one there as far as I can see. I found a fungi (I think) and wonder if someone can help me ID it, please? Kind of looks like a piece of brown cauliflower growing from the ground. Stem is like a tree trunk and the head all curly like a brain, might be frost burned but seems solid enough. I didn't see it the other day when I was putting out my composted seaweed and can't figure how I would have missed it. I did Google it and haven't seen anything quite like it but some close. I have a yard that loves to put up all sort of wild and wonderful plants where least I expect to find them. Of note today is the nuthatches are moving 'a lot' of sunflower seed into the maple tree beside the driveway. One has a very dark black head, the other quite a blue but paler and lovely gray! they aren't worried about my presence, I have been used as a rest stop at one stage and stood quiet while it discussed world matters with its friend/partner. Finally we do have a lovely Cardinal! Male has disappeared. We got a lovely new swallow house from Penny Lane enterprises in Milton and with a few quick adaptations it will be very suitable....we think so... but the truth will come tomorrow when the swallows check in. IF they do. No hummingbird visiting the feeders regularly but every now and again someone zips in, fuels up very quickly and heads off to the westward. In bloom are vinca, purple violets, wild strawberry blossoms, scillas, grape hysanths, etc that escaped, small bulbs various, (I did not plant them) probably toted in by critters various and probably by very friendly and striped monks. The Japanese Quince is ready to pop. Poppies are soon budding and the mayflowers are just about done my sister says. I haven't seen any yet so tomorrow I will poke about. I have a couple plants tucked here on the property that are so rich and pink. Best regards, Marg in White Point, Queens
