**** www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=ERLE11
Leavenworth's eryngo is a prickly, 20-40 in. annual with a leafy stem, broadly branched in the upper portion. Almost the entire plant has some shade of purple. Flowers are minute, purple, and mingled with small, spiny bracts in an elongated, terminal, head-like cluster. These are subtended by conspicuous spiny-tipped bracts. The leaves are deeply lobed, each segment edged and tipped with stiff spines. A tuft of small, rigid, spiny leaves grows out of the top of the flower head. It is desirable to wear a thick pair of gloves if one cuts the flowers.

The eryngos are not true thistles and are often confused with thistles, due to similarity in both appearance and habitat preference. Splashing fields a brilliant purple, it provides an excellent source for late summer and early fall color.ư
BENEFIT
Use Ornamental: Attractive, Wildflower meadow. Eryngium leavenworthii is nothing short of fantastic with its metallic purple stems and flowers. Note that the stamens come out as bright blue filaments. When picked (cautiously!), maintains its color and shape, adding a unique touch to dried arrangements.
Use Wildlife: Nectar-insects, Cover, Seeds-Granivorous birds
Conspicuous Flowers: yes
Interesting Foliage: yes
Deer Resistant: High

Birdcage How to make a birdcage veil?

Question by Kimchi mama: How to make a birdcage veil?
I really want a birdcage veil but they seem to be sort of expensive, where can I find a site that shows you step by step how to make one? Also Where could I find the supplies? Also do they look better with shorter hair?Thanks:)

Best answer:

Answer by Lyn G.
Check out birdcageveils.com. They range in price from $ 40-$ 100. Which isn’t terrible for any veil nowadays. But, with some Russian netting and an ostrich feather… (about $ 10) you could probably make it yourself. Or find a kit off of birdcage veils(.com!).

Good luck! And, personally I think it looks great with short hair. But, people with long hair do it too and I think it’s nice.

Congrats!!

The adoption center owner said he isn’t a pet b/c he used to be a breeder amazon, he also said he isn’t friendly with men b/c he gets jealous of men when women are handling him. So… I was wondering if this habit is easily broken or why it even happens? ~Thanx~!

Birds Of Prey Would this be true to say about birds of prey?

Question by Royal Victory: Would this be true to say about birds of prey?
I’ve watched some video’s of birds of prey in action on youtube and while some viewers have protested that the content is offensive or unfair on the prey. After watching a few i’ve noticed that the prey result in getting serious injuries after a few seconds from the talons so I’m wondering would it be fair to say that they prey is actually better off being killed by the birds in the first place? After all would it be a given they’d die from their injuries if they escaped anyway?

It’s life, people need to get over it.
