Well, I made it through the freeze. The only plants that really felt it were the brugmansia and the porterweed. The porterweed is native so I'm guessing it will come back, but if anyone else can confirm that I'd appreciate it.

Mom released a Gulf Frit today. I was worried it wouldn't be warm enough so I told her to set him on the bougainvillea in the sun, but she said he flew right off. When I was taking the blankets off my plants I found a bonus caterpillar on the blanket. I looked through my books but couldn't find him. Opinions are welcome. He was on the blanket over the begonias. His head seems too small for the rest of his body. He has a whitish stripe down each side of his body. He likes to hide under the leaf I have in with him, and he curls into a ball when disturbed.
