I didn't realize the Wafer Ash went that far north. Interesting. Of course, in Florida we have tons of citrus groves so the farmers consider the Giant ST caterpillars to be a bit of a pest. I use Rue in the garden since it hosts the Giant ST and the Eastern Black ST. More bang for your buck! At the museum we also have Wild Lime and Hercules' Club although the latter is too tall to find caterpillars anymore.

And speaking of the museum, I did go today but I haven't downloaded my pictures yet. I'll be sure to post them later. I met people from Brazil and Germany today so it was very international. Oh, and the Renaissance Festival started this weekend and it's located on the property next to the museum (the property is also owned by the museum but there's nothing built on it). So I got to hear bagpipes and lots of yelling as I was walking the gardens. I forgot to ask the Germans if Ren Fests occur in Europe, too, or is this just something we crazy Americans find fun? Rolling on the floor laughing
