I love this Wild Petunia – Each evening at 4-5:00 it shed the flowers and then by 8:00 the next morning another dozen flowers bloom.  Also, I noticed last night,  3 branches had about 6″ nipped off – the nipped off pieces was laying on the ground and they were not chewed.  I am thinking a fawn was testing things to eat – tested the petunia and decided it was not good to eat – what do you think did the nipping?

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE –study the things that happen over night in nature and try to figure what was going on in the dark of night.
