      So, you do know what it's called?? What is it called??!! Did you forget, or are you torturing me, lol?

      These milkweeds are usually covered in oleander aphids ( Aphis nerii). Cute, aren't they?       Posted 6 years ago

        No, I don't know what they are, I struggle a lot with even basic plant biology. It was an inside joke where I'm mocking some lady on FB. I posted an ID request where she answered "I know exactly what it is, but I don't have any information". I found this anti climax entertaining as well as upsetting, and figured to forward this gift to you ;)

        On topic, could be a good question for Ori or Yael.         Posted 6 years ago

          Lol, funny! I so wish I understood jokes better, aside from my own. Anyway, thanks for sharing your quirky humor...it's always appreciated :-D

          I recently had an entertaining FB conversation with someone insisting my fairyfly was a dragonfly. Funny, yet so very annoying.

              Speaking of fairies...

              What do you call a fairy that doesn't take a bath?
