I love love love frogs of all kinds... although I must say that you should never tell your family that you like frogs. (You will not only get cool botanical frog stuff this way, but also cheesy bad frog stuff, sadly)<BR/><BR/>Your photos are gorgeous, btw. And I love the explanation behind the seeds that need brush fires to open and spread... way cool.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793140192173953553.post-8352857587608855882008-11-10T21:52:00.000-06:002008-11-10T21:52:00.000-06:00I feel like I was there!

That's the wildlife that stuck in my mind, after Chris told us about them. I love your top photo of the carved face.

I'm so glad you got the one of the Texas pistache because I was quite inspired by Chris's explanation to try that myself.<BR/><BR/>And I'm glad you have the photo of the bottlebrush tree seeds. I was very interested to learn it is a chemical in the smoke rather than the fire itself that triggers these seeds to sprout. But I'd already forgotten that detail until I saw your Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
