I have to admit that Pulsatilla is one of my favorite springtime
flowers. If people are curious about it, I can put up some photos.
Speaking of fuzzy plants, I wanted to mention that our once stagnant
Plant of the Month has been revitalized with the purchase of a new
slide scanner. This month's special is Hepatica acutiloba, a fuzzy
character with long-lasting blooms in early spring.

As an added bonus, I've also created a background for your computer
screen using one of the Hepatica photos. You can download it as either
a PICT or JPEG in three possible screen sizes.

Hope you like it!
