When I walked out the greenhouse early one April day I was greeting by this lovely little creature hiding in the lettuce.  Of course I know immediately I had to paint him, but finding a name was hard.  I asked on face book and received several very good suggestions.  I wrote back to everyone trying to use most of the names that had been suggested.

If you listen carefully you can hear the head gardener, Clora Phil singing , “It's Not Easy Being Green”, while waiting for a fly to come by. As I say, “ time flies when you're having fun”, but Clora says, “times fun when you’re having flies “.
