not sure why we can't embed slideshows here. Can we get Chris to check on that for us?

Even if you can't import slideshows you could use an animated GIF to do the same thing. MicroSoft's version is free and super easy. I don't know if it will work on Vista however. It's a small package, too.

I like the bread wrapper idea. Would you be better off to clip it over a branch? Some pack rat might cart it off of a strong wind blow it enough that you could lose your original mark. Just a thought.

I checked out your blog. Do you know what the white fluff bush is called?

It does look like a willow of some sort. the ones I spotted had yellow flowers and they were different on the two plants. Male and female? I thought it was interesting and hadn't noticed them before.
i thought about clipping it over a branch but i think that would only pique someone's curiousity
the blue one was the only one i had at the moment, i'll switch it with a beige or green one later

well i know what its not, its not a cleaver, but i cannot figure out what it is, is there enough specimens around that you can pull one and see the roots? what about the stem? hollow or any thing worthy to note? smell? i am deeply curious about this
woodruff? never heard of this what other name is it given?
lots of fun thanks CG

well after much reading, had to pull the books off the shelf and stay up late, the best i can come up with , w/o any further info is smooth bedstraw, galium mollugo.
i would like more on the roots if i could tho.
See this is why i like this section, you guys post a great plant and i spend time learning about it and others, normally i would not see any cleavers around here, but i sure learned allot about them last night going thru my books and wiki, thanks folks.

at this juncture, I'd have to agree with WE. Good eye Mr. Eagle!

so i guess the pics in the OP are between woodruff and galium mollugo
galium mollugo is supposed to have the offshoot, coming out from a node, as shown below

looking at the mini-leafs below, they seem to be different from the ones in the OP
may try a 3 way comparison tmmw

just going with a cleavers / other comparison
cleavers has the small hairs and sticks to clothing/skin, and the other(s) do not
now the big question is, what is the difference between woodruff and galium mollugo ?
and if all members of the galium family are edible, i guess this comparison stuff is moot
the cleavers sample below may have took a beating being transported in my camera bag to the woodruff location
