Well, I freely admit that I do like being right. It's kind of a way of life for me. Rolling on the floor laughing But honestly, that one just reminded me of a moth. I know butterflies certainly vary a lot worldwide so I actually wasn't trying to be right on that one. But I'm glad we all have an identification now in case anyone wants to look it up and learn more.

And people do certainly have different senses of smell. I always heard heliotrope smells like vanilla but the ones we have in our flight cage smell nice, but nothing like vanilla. Maybe they're a different species of heliotrope than the ones in the catalogs I receive?

Also, if any of you guys out there are totally sick of winter and want to remember what spring looks like, check out the link in my signature. The boss has posted a new blog that's pretty much just pictures of lots of stuff blooming around the gardens. The Walter's Viburnum and the Redbuds are being especially showy right now.
