Gee, thanks Rob for the concern. Like *I'm* the one who's going to be going near danger! We'll just have my dad's old buddies at the Coast Guard station on alert. Might be fun to watch the news Saturday night just in case

I'm collecting whatever looks green, lives under water and doesn't require wading through too much muck to get to. I'm not expecting much but look forward to spending some time in that nature stuff for a change!

Some time ago I kept Cardamine Lyrata.....very similar by the looks of it. Can any of you gurus fill in the blanks on differences? Or for that matter how to tell them apart?
