--Apple-Mail-36--864835800 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello everyone: I went for a hike yesterday on the new community trail in Avondale. It was the first time in a long while since I have such large patches of juniper! Near the start of the trail was a stump that had a fungus I have never seen growing out of it. In fact, on first inspection, it looked like someone had made them out of pewter and stuck them to the stump as a decoration. The effect was heightened as the "stalks" were the same diameter, right to the wood, as it didn't seem possible for it to be like that with no disturbance in the wood, unless it was held on with a protruding nail. They ever sounded hollow when tapped. The other odd item I came across was a shrub in full bloom. It was waist high, and shaped almost like a candelabra, with the flowers on vertical sections of branch. I have seen comments from people that their daphne is in bloom in late winter, but never having seen a daphne plant I was not sure if this was an example. The plant was in an area that was growing in, so it's possible it may have been part of a garden in the past.
