They had something here last year for a butterfly breeders organization and I would have gone for just one day if they'd had a reduced rate for that. Too bad it's usually all or nothing on the price. The other day I noticed the remaining Gulf Fritillary had emerged...first time one made it until this late in winter. I tried to put it on my only blooming plant (a rosemary bush), but it wanted to fly! Soon a Rue and an Agarita will have blooms also. The 2 Red Admirals and occasionally even a snout come to the old old pieces of fruit that they share with the bees (unfortunately, I haven't found a way to have separate fruit just for the butterflies...the bees find it sooner or later).

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
