There is a fervor of birth, sex and metamorphosis going on after our fall storms, I have hundreds of butterflies and hundred of caterpillars feeding on my passion vines. This young lady is still drying her wings getting ready for her few days in the sun.

I'm going to be proud showing them off. Like a proud papa.
What a beauty! Have you ID'd her?

She's a gulf fritillary, that's the primary butterfly in my yard. I have a few tiger swallowtails, sulfurs and hackberry emperors, but my main plantings(passion vine) are for the frits. I plant coriander and dill for the swallowtails in the spring and fall.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
