Thea, thanks for the compliment! You know, my book says those White Peacocks are "strays" in my neighborhood, but global warming must be sending them northward. My dad has decided they're his favorite butterfly.

We had another zebra ST come out this morning and Mom got to release it. She said later this afternoon she saw two Zebra STs fly over the house so she was hoping that the ones we released met each other and are getting down to business! Better start checking my pawpaws...

Lily, the blue butterflies (usually Cassius Blue around here) do live in the plumbagos. It's their host plant, plus they can nectar on it like every other butterfly in my neighborhood! I've always got three or four flying around. Here's a pic of one.

Lastly, everyone check out Lily's thread and see if you can help her Gulf Fritillary: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/782110/
