Tabasco,

I have a Lady Margaret, and the gulf frit cats do just fine on it. I do have a problem with assassin bugs eating the juvenile cats. I flick them off the vine when I see them, but they can fly, so that's a losing battle. Once the cats get to the third instar the assassin bugs seem to leave them alone. Every week I find one or two large GF cats on the vine. I've even found a couple of chrysalises, but where the rest of them go to pupate is still somewhat of a mystery. They do reach the last instar stage without any problems.

Here's a few blooms on the Lady Margaret.
