Last year and again this winter we had something attacking our re blooming iris and chewing big chunks out of the petals, my husband mentioned snails but after checking i thought it was earwigs but that didn't seem right either. The mystery was solved when we actually saw a Spotted Towhee sitting on top of a huge bloom happily eating away. The Spotted Towhee is so pretty we just accept that we loose the iris blossoms to it during the winter months. A few years back, we thought we had been visited by wild hogs, the garden was so disrupted. a few mornings later we were up as the sun came up and saw hundreds of robins in our garden and plants flying through the air in every direction. We would not have believed Robins could do so much damage if we had not seen it happen. Carolyn ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
