Cool Josephine,
Had a lot of fun! Just now getting to this, lol. I will check out the TX Forum and see what you were able to get. I have more, but I needed to get that Canna bed all done.. Whew! They are all tucked away and trimmed. Some of the leaves were still crisp even til today. So this has been Canna week here. I have been immersing myself in everything about them. What an amazing plant!

Yep Melanie! All Swallowtails and even Birdwings have the 'horns' (osmeterium). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmeterium

Thanks for sharing your pics!
