A few days ago I saw this beauty on my Mexican sage. I'm pretty sure it's a Pipevine Swallowtail, so now I really, really want a Dutchman's Pipe vine. But I'm also wondering if it's something I should wait til spring to plant. Anyone have thoughts on this and other host plants? I have 60 or 70 milkweed plants that are a few inches high - most are cuttings I made that are sprouting, or re-sprouting plants I bought that the cats stripped of leaves. I'm wondering how I'll protect them from freezes (wishing for a greenhouse!).

Deb, thanks for the info on passionflower vine cuttings. I'm going to try some now to see how they do.
