There were several Zebra Longwing eggs and I'm think I'm going to bring them in. I haven't raised them in a while, anyway. Naturally, my P. 'Lavender Lady' is covered in buds so it's just about time for the caterpillars to show up. I did enjoy some flowers through the winter and I'll probably see most of these blooms because the caterpillars are still so small, but they'll get to chewing pretty quickly. My dad always threatens to cut the Passion Vine back when it starts creeping around the house and into the garage. But he's just been tucking it back around on to the other plants. I tell him the caterpillars will take care of it. Who needs hedge trimmers. anyway? Now, if I can just get my first Swallowtails I'll be super excited! Or if I find Red Admirals. Heck, I may go to the next street over and check the Willows for Viceroys.
