When I sat outside in my backyard this morning I saw this spider's web that I just had to share with you. It's so neat and well formed, not like the spider and her web that I saw the other day. Her's was three dimensional but very sloppy. This morning I saw no spider on this web. More photos are below: From a Different Angle A Soft Focus Bush in the Background

If the dandelion was difficult to grow it would be desired for its beauty. I found this interesting video about the history of the dandelion while I was wandering on the the internet.
I don't know the name of this houseplant. It did come with a tag explaining how to care for it but I lost it. This is the first time it sprouted in the five years I've had it. The sprout from different angles: Up close: The stem is sticky. Some liquid is oozing from the flowers. Does anyone know what this plant is called? When I did an image search on google it came back with "houseplant" then "flower"; not much help.
