Is this what I am seeing on my plants that is being discussed above?
I am hoping you can help me identify what is happening on my butterfly bush. One leaf will be wrapped around what looks like a long reddish-brown string of perfectly laid out seeds and then all but closed with white gossamer threads. the stalk below this will be wilting and dying back. I\'m new to Florida and am seeing lots of new things happening to some familiar plants.
