    OK! Since Valentine's Day is coming this weekend, I thought it might be fun to show hearts or other romantic symbols in the plant world. I'll start....

    I like to call this 'My funny Valentine'.

    Let's see what hearts you can find or other Valentines from nature are out there!

    I don't have any heart shaped plants but thought you'd like to see this photograph.

    It's of two mute swans during their courtship ritual.

    You just never know what you'll find, and it was only thinking about Valentine's Day that made me think about what I've seen around and about that reminded me of hearts! Glad everyone is having fun with this! :-D
