Red Admirals like that mushy rotted fruit treat better than nectars.. A few other brushfoots like him prefer it too.

Worked a bit more on the Host bed today....so I thought some of you might be encouraged to see what I have so far. It just looks like there are gaps, however all the plants are small now compared to when will fill out next Spring, (of course). You know I will probably add more of this and that, and no telling what.:o)

Picture isn't great but gives a general idea of what's planted where..

1.Duranta~Sweet Memory
2.Salvia
3.Milkweed
4.Gazania
5.Texas Mist Flower & Frostweed
6.Dianthus
7.Black Hollyhock, and behind that is more Salvia and Porterweed
8.Snapdragons
9.Parsley
10.Dill (Seeds)
11.Fennel (Seeds)
12.Cosmos
13.Passionvine Blue Crown (skimpy now, but crawling with frits I noticed more today.)
14.Queen Anne's Lace (Seed)
15. Cassia Alata (Candletree will go there.. maybe one on the other side too)

There is more on the east side of the house and front where the Buddelija and more herbs are.

So far so good..I am happy with it.
