Gary, Thank you for the i.d. – I suspected waspish industry but was sort of hoping it could have been a mousey ikebana vase or a party hat… It’s destiny now is incorporation in a piece of art by a local artist/garden volunteer.

Mr. Stevens, that’s just what I wanted to hear! (Pass it along!)

and Layanee, the chestnut rose blooms are pretty short and sweet – I’m not sure what today’s rain is doing to it (I’ll let you know if it’s done for) but I’d say, come on by as soon as the weather improves!

You left a comment on my site about the bottle trees discussed in Passalong Plants. I believe that we should take advantage of the opportunities that this modern age gives us to learn about art and cultures all over the world and incorporate what we take a fancy to in our own lives. Never let it be said that someone isn’t white enough, or black enough, or southern enough, or yankee enough to adopt a fashion, or a habit, or a custom. Let us learn about each other and take the best of what the other has to offer.

Kris,
That unidentified object you were holding is probably part of the nest of a paper wasp, sometimes called a red wasp. I have seen them variegated if they use more than one kind of wood to digest and build with. I’m enjoying your blog.
