I imagine the pollen must taste different to them.<br /><br />Sometimes I think we as a species have committed a crime with roses as much as we have with dogs.<br /><br />Very happy to see the Grebe chick thriving. One is better than none.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
