Also, at the nursery, I found a Lady Margaret Passion vine. After the vine sat outside for just a few hours...
Yep, a Gulf Fritillary butterfly fluttered around. She landed on a few leaves. I thought she was looking for a flower. Nope. She was laying eggs. The only trouble is, she laid a few on the side of the house. She keeps laying, well it maybe another butterfly. I want to plant the vine in another area of the garden, but I don't want to leave the babies with out a food source.
The eggs don't take long to hatch. One website said four to six days. I did find this guy.
Eggs may have been laid at the garden nursery. But, I still had a Gulf Fritillary find my plant after just a few hours. How did she find it?
How exciting! I hope you'll keep us posted!
