It has been below freezing here over night for several days. Most of my flowers are gone and so have the butterflies. I planted some blanket flowers at my daughter's house and the next day a vistor showed up during a sunny period. A lovely painted lady that nectared for at least an hour in the sun.
To my surprize, when I got home, two Gulf frits had eclosed in my cold garage. Several weeks ago I had placed these cats in a container ( my passion vine was devoid of leaves) and fed them passion leaves for a couple of days. Once they pupaed I forgot about them. Now I have two Gulfs going out into the really cold world. How do I get them to over winter next time.
