Wow...now that's what I call wildlife....I understand the re-infection 
stage...I am going to start cutting evergreen boughs to bring in for 
Ikebana...do more work in the greenhouse...start lettuce seed...and enjoy the 
fact that the several Alpines I kept here in the basement window sill in part 
shade are all starting to show signs of growth...the Heuchera pulchella is 
growing great guns and the Lewisias have started putting out new foliage...I 
grew four of these in an old McCoy planter...first time in 5-10 years I've kept 
Lewisias alive over winter.....Sedums look great but the saxifragas may have 
gone a wee bit too dry to suit them....average temp in basement office is 
43-54*F with a few hours of evening temps of 60* when a fire is placed in the 
woodstove...yeah I know talk about screwing up a plant...cold when the sun is 
out...hot when the sun is down......

Thanks for the photo of the tanagers....now can you come up with a photo of 
bobwhite quail?

It seems that every year about now I am re-infected with the gardening bug. It 
usually begins by wandering around the yard to see what might be coming 
up(after thousands of of seeds have been sown in various areas. In a fit of 
uncharacteristic organization I set to the task of sorting through all my plant 
photos with the intent to at last label some and perhaps sort them to genus 
level. I am sure the passion for this task will subside well before I am done. 
I did come across a picture last night that I took last spring that somehow had 
me yearning more than ever for spring to break. Thought I would post it up 
since it does not fit neatly into the genus

 For now spring is a ways off it would seem, not even the Primulas have 
ventured above ground yet.  Jim HatchettEagle, Idaho  Zone 7
