Nice Cat!!
Your Duranta is beautiful...Mine hasn't awaken from winter, yet..
I wonder if it's ok... :-/.
MInd if I join you with my Frit action here? Been so busy shaping up the back, I haven't had time to start a thread..

Yesterday the first 2 blooms popped on the P. ceurela I babied all winter...(Maybe I should have done the Duranta the same, but it was a mess after the first couple freezes, so I cut it and covered it up.)

A few weeks ago a happy little Frit went to town ovipositing.. Now they are about ready to pupate. Many will today most likely, as the temp is about 55. Might even cause some to curl up earlier.

Can y'all see the cats in this pic?
