One of My Favorite Perennial Flowers
The four o clock flower is one of my all-time favorite flowers to grow in my yard.
One of my neighbors had these beautiful, sweet-smelling flowers growing around a tree in her yard and I was commenting on how much I liked them. She then took me to the flower bed and proceeded to dig up a few of the plants. I planted those three little transplants and, within a few weeks, they were blooming like crazy. I was hooked!
This article will provide growing and care tips for this lovely flower as well as information about its historical background.
Harpy Eagle
Unfamiliar to many of us here in the United States and Europe, the Harpy Eagle is one of the largest and most powerful of all eagle species. Very recognizable due to its double-crested head feathers, the Harpy is a feared predator and resides at the top of the food chain throughout its range.
If you’re wondering where the name Harpy comes from, its origins are from Greek mythology where harpies were large winged creatures with sharp claws, a vulture’s body, and a woman’s face. Also, harpy comes from the Greek word harpe and refers to a bird of prey mentioned by many Greek scholars.
