My Grandpa used to grow those. The Amish around here grow great big ones and sell them in bouquets with other flowers. <BR/><BR/>I had a similar experience in Florida with Mocking Bird babies. They would not stay put. I lived right on a busy road and the tree they were in , was right by the road. The Mom would swoop at me cussin' up a storm and all I was trying to do was help. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-39057695895370837112007-07-08T23:53:00.000-05:002007-07-08T23:53:00.000-05:00Good news you were able to help get the babies bac...Good news you were able to help get the babies back in their nest ok and mama bird took over after that!

Momma wouldn't have noticed if you added a few more birds to her nest - she can't count! She just responds to their cry for food! I do hope the babies have learned a good lesson - they have a bit of growing to do before they leave the nest!<BR/><BR/>I have that Gooseberry book and there are some great ideas for the garden and wonderful salad recipes there so I'm sure you'll make great use of it! <BR/><BR/>Your coxcomb/celosia is lovely and do you know it reseeds prolifically? You should have even more next year, or you can let the flowers dry (just hang them upside down)for a special touch to one of your wreaths in the fall! The seeds are very tiny and black and once when I was saving them our daughter thought they were poppy seeds and ate them!<BR/><BR/>I had a large heart shaped wreath accented with celosia over our bed for many years - it was fragrant and lovely, but dried flowers don't last forever!<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed your post, as always!Heather Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563913535839786305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-66711425658117837722007-07-08T18:16:00.000-05:002007-07-08T18:16:00.000-05:00Terrific rescue, Kelli!What wonderful finds!

Here is a little ...Oh, how sweet! Little birdies. Here is a little confession from me: When I was growing up, we had a tree outside my bedroom window that housed a nest of baby robins every year. Everyone told me not to touch them or the mom would abandon them but I was 7, so, naturally they were simply irrisistable to me! I particularly liked tapping the nest to see their little heads pop up but I remember finding worms for them too. I don't remember if they ate the worms, though. At any rate, the mom kept coming back though I always imagined she looked a little suspicious giving me the one-eyed, cocked-head stare through the glass. :-)Melissa E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06896466111167169266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-28014626913635006232007-07-07T22:51:00.000-05:002007-07-07T22:51:00.000-05:00I always enjoy your 5 senses weekends!That corn lo...I always enjoy your 5 senses weekends!<BR/><BR/>That corn looks yummy, we haven't had any fresh corn on the cob yet this year - we will soon!Momma Roarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585669348993487403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-51117492077212880662007-07-07T22:24:00.000-05:002007-07-07T22:24:00.000-05:00Hi, Kelli,yes, they are called cockscomb, as one c...Hi, Kelli,<BR/><BR/>yes, they are called cockscomb, as one comment said, or also known as celosia.<BR/><BR/>My hands would have been shaking too, with the birds.
