JR, yes it has quickly become my go to jig for the burns. I have caught bream, goggle eye, sacs, bass and even caught a bar fish on it Friday! Funny thing is that it came off of one that Jlaughlin ties that is just the red and black and I added in the orange and it kind of looks like a crawfish now and they seem to love it.

As for the flower, Lotus is probably the correct name but we always just called them chick a pen flowers. The center section dries up and has the seeds in it. You see a lot of the dried ones in Flower arrangements. My aunt would crack the seeds and eat them from the dried ones.

Shadow, you just reminded me of the another name for them. You are correct chick a pens is used a lot around here. There are places around here that people fight over them. The seeds that develop in the pods are good to eat and florist love them to put in flower arrangements.
