It's starting to warm up and I see host plants sprouting up here and there! Now, if people would just stop mowing them down.
It's not so hot that I can't get a Cloudless Sulphur to pause on the pentas and let me take a photo! It went for the dark pink today. They usually like red flowers. I probably need to cut my pentas back to make them less scraggly and to bloom all new and fresh, but I don't have a lot blooming yet so I'm a little torn. I suppose I don't have to cut them all at the same time?
