This is the plant that started the whole blog idea. We had gotten this one this spring, and promptly hung it in an ideal spot on the porch (not the spot it's in now...). When we went on vacation out west, we had someone take care of the plants, and had them watered about every other day. Things were great when we got home, and I wanted to turn this one so it got sun on it's other side.Well! When I pulled it down to water it, and turn it, I found a small bird's nest with five tiny eggs in it. I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but decided to leave it alone, and watch and see. Over the next 2 weeks, we found out that the nest was for Purple Finches, and we watched as the adults hovered around, nested, sang, watched us, and lots of other stuff. We kept an eye out, and saw when two of the eggs had hatched, watched them grow, and watched adults feed them and each other. It was truly a site to see. Within two weeks, they were gone. Very cool, and very sad at the same time. But thanks to those little guys, you all can share our porch with us...
