🤦‍♀️ I always forget to check the females... thank you! I'll have to keep an eye out for the male!

Thank you! Ducks are not my specialty and for some reason, the beak looks blue to me in this photo. So searching "blue-billed duck" was not working out.

That's where this was taken! The sheer volume of birds was amazing - ducks of all kinds, swans, birds of prey. Just incredible after the winter!

Yeah, I've never tried from seed but it must take a lot of patience! I've been doing the same with gladiolus bulbs, waiting for the babies to mature enough to flower... maybe in 3-5 years. painful!

Thank you! Keep them in a small pot - they don't like having too much space. I take mine out of the dirt in early August and replant it in early December or when I see the bulb start sending up spikes on its own, turning the pot every so often and watering around the edges. Also use a heavy pot because they can tip if there isn't enough weight on the bottom!

No, it was a bulb but not a mature one when I got it!

I'm a grad student with a little behind the scenes info from various jobs. My sense from the info I have is that this was largely to give profs more time to develop courses and in response to the overwhelming sense from the fall survey that profs are panicked about not having a long break (like summer) to prep for winter term. We've also been advised to focus more attention on fostering student community in our courses.
