Ooh, ooh, I know a few of those! Catalpa trees I know, but they don't grow down here. Kind of weird that Tersas eat them because I thought the Catalpa Sphinx Moth had a monopoly on them. Up in WV I saw where they just stripped a tree. Hamelia patens is Firebush that I'm always talking about. It's also a host for the Pluto Sphinx Moth. Hmm...sensing a theme here. And Psychotria nervosa is Wild Coffee! I saw lots of it growing at Selby Gardens. Very good nectar plant. From what I can see, at least some of those plants appear to be in the Rubiaceae family.
