Kim Girlfriend you are wonderful!!! these things have been blooming since.... ummm christmas or maybe thanksgiving? and I have been patiently waiting to get a shot of an open one and well it looks like they won't ever open! Killed that photo idea! LOL! OK well there are a ton of others here but it is nice to have a name for them, they grow wild here in the ditches and ponds. sniff sniffle goes off to find more pond flowers
