   a few weeks now.    
   This afternoon, something tore the three large flowers off one of the plants   
   and left them on the lawn a few feet away. Only one plant was damaged, the   
   other nine or ten are unharmed.

   those are rarely seen    
   during the day.

   they just ate the tops off.
