I agree They're so lovely, and so big you can practically feel the breeze from their flapping wings as they pass.

Good Morning,
Great butterfly pic and on a Spinach Tree to boot! Have you ever tried eating it? I have heard from others that it is absolutely delicious and have read full of nutrients as long as its boiled 15 minutes to alleviate the cyanide in it? Blinking

I haven't been daring enough yet, but I have two and maybe they'll bring a Giant Swallowtail around someday!

Thanks. No I haven't tried it yet. It grows like a weed here. I am getting ready to take one out because it's next to my lychee and I got a different variety of lychee I want to put there. I;kk br starting and giving away lots of cuttings.
