The rocks do look a lot like the cedar rose flowers from pine cones, don't they? We also dig for selenite crystals in the Great Plains Salt Flats in Okla. They are hour glass shaped!!! |

Since you're in Oklahoma, you might want to go to the Timberlake Rose Rock Museum in Noble, Oklahoma? They make scuptures from the rose rocks: ![]() "This sculpture is about six inches high and consists of five small rose rocks fashioned into a base rock with small copper cattails and copper leaves." Their website is: http://www.roserockmuseum.org Sylvia |

http://www.bedsandbreakfasts.ca/quebec.htm Jack, The blue flag iris is the flower native to Quebec that most closely resembles the fleur-de-lis. It replaced the Madonna Lily as Quebec's provincial flower in 1999. ![]() Don't feel badly that you didn't know. The English words to Oh Canada were changed in 1968, and those changes escape me when I sing it. Here's a better picture of it: ![]() Sylvia |

Thanks Sylvia. As usual, you're right. I'm far from being an expert on flowers. I guess I found the fleur-de-lys on an older site which has not been updated since 1999. |
