Do you feed the squirrels? They are cute and all living things add to the landscape, but every time I plant something, they dig it up. There was a really dark purple tulip I was looking forward to seeing and the squirrel picked it, really! No! I didn't see him do it, but he's guilty by logical assumption. Do you think the bird did it? Birds can be destructive too. I've been into dark colored flowers lately. I bought an Iris that should be almost black last fall, so I hope it blooms this year and that the squirrel leaves it alone. I planted a Delphinium last week and it was dug up the next day. I'm trying to collect temperate, terrestrial orchids such as Cypripedium Acule and they came up to bloom (nursery grown), but the squirrel got it. I'm all for eating invasive species, if you have garlic mustards (alliaria petiolata) growing they are good to eat when young, bitter, but very nutritious. But squirrels are not worth the effort, despite what many hunters say. I'm not into poison like rats so I guess I'll just put up with them. I got the picture from google images.
