Well...obviously not.  But that's the first thought to pop into my head when I looked out and saw several of these galls laying scattered about on my deck.

I was able to locate a dozen more Texas Gold Columbine (Aquilegia chrysantha var. hinckleyana) and get them into the ground.  I also planted another 'Cherry Coke' Dyckia into my Three Tiers Garden - still on the prowl for three more of these.
