Stephanie, how cool about your crinium! I got one at our spring RU, I think it was from Kittriana and it has put up a bloom stalk too. It is my first crinium bloom and I am so excited. I now have a small pink Ruellia that is blooming too. Again thanks to Kittriana. Maybe next year I can get some of the pink mixed in with the blue. I saw a huge pot of both at an antique store and it was gorgeous
I have had very few butterflies this year compared to last year and I don't know why, I have twice the plants for them. Lots of bumble bees but no honey bees. Love your picture of the swallowtail.
