Giant Swallowtail Butterflies and Your Citrus Trees

It started out as a usual morning as I hand watered the front garden; then I noticed what looked like bird droppings all over one of the lime trees.

There are a number of them on our property. As we only bought it a year ago I don't know how old the trees are. But the largest one is around 7 or 8 feet tall. I examine that thing so closely every time we are there which is usually once a week. I didn't miss the camphor blooms & they are very, very tiny. If anyone saw me examining that toothache tree they would think I was nuts! I get so darn close looking for blooms. Hilarious!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
