   Although marigolds aren't edible, I though someone on this list might have had   
   an experience like this. My wife planted a row of large, golden marigolds   
   along part of the sidewalk that leads to the back door. They've been there for   
   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.    
      
   They were OK this morning but she noticed the damage after lunch. Two of our   
   barn cats hang around the back door, which should discourage birds and   
   rodents. We've had nighttime visits from raccoons, possums, and a coyote but   
   those are rarely seen during    
   the day.    
      
   Very strange; anyone have any idea about what could have caused this?
