The kind of Snapdragons are not the ones they sell in stores. The Buckeye uses the native snapdragon, (such as Agalinis). This little fella I have is eating Frog-Fruit* very happily. I have it trailing all over my yard.

It's kinda strange too. I think I already had it here, and didn't know it because of how thick the weeds were in my backyard before I took it over for the butterflies. Josephine gave me a plant a few months ago when I went to see her. I don't think all of this came from the one plant. I tell you folks, I just wish for something, and it appears. I knew God loved me, but wow! It has been such an amazing year...*I am in awe*. I am learning so much about Buckeyes now too, where before so much was a mystery.

~Look at the leaves of the Phyla.. It looks like something has taken a bite out of every leaf, so it makes a great host plant if birds and humans look for things that have bites out of it to find caterpillars. Interresting, don't you think?~
