Excellent -- I'll D-mail you to get your addy. I just saw a post on the Vines forum that they may take several months to germinate, so I'd better get cracking. I had some A. elegans seeds I sowed tonight, but they will croak next October-Dec sometime.

There is a nice fence I can tie it to or train it to, or well, I'll figure it out when I get something green and taller than 6". LOL!

Don't the bees eat the banana mash? Don't the ants eat it? I can't believe you can put that out and not get everything in the world EXCEPT butterflies! Oh, yeah, I'm gonna try it, but I wanted to ask the question. :) I have the cutest wire hurricane lamp that I want to put on a post with some mash on it ala puddyprints (Cat's) pic above. It's designed for a candle, but ..... I also have a wire birdcage I could probably put a plant in. I could maybe screen it with net for cats... I am so excited about all this. I really, really want some of those cool cats!

Here's a Silver Spotted Skipper -- I didn't shoot many butterflies last year because they were all so common.
