Very neat looking. I wouldn't have known what kind had someone not have mentioned it. I was going to have to go look them up so I could tell the kids. Very neat!

Rhonda-You guessed it! I didn't know what it was until I looked it up.
Lisa-Thanks for the info, Barb has been an inspiration to me to add a little more concentrated nature study into our days!
I have never seen those with a covering. Interesting!
I have never seen those. But then again I have never looked for them. Barb has been a wonderful thing for us. :-) Thanks for sharing!
