[Leica] Friday Flower-Nov 9-ric

Ric,

These are very nice and unusual. I worked on tobacco farms for 6  
years in the summer during school vacations. Shade tobacco on the  
farms in Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Only picked the  
leaves for cigar wrappers. At end of season and after the netting was  
taken down we plowed under the plants. I never saw a tobacco flower.
