Mom and I went to the butterfly talk at Hollie's Nursery here in Lutz. It was a general butterfly gardening talk, but I enjoyed it. I talked to a few ladies and told them I volunteer at MOSI and one said she would be interested in volunteering now that she's retired. So it looks like I have recruits! I also had a lot of fun pointing out the Polydamas cats to people. I was good and only bought two plants - some more fennel for the Black STs and some cat whiskers. We have the white cat whiskers but they had purple (my favorite color) so I had to get it. Come to think of it, my book does say that purple is a butterfly's favorite color, too.

But before I even left the house I checked out the visitors in my garden. The Frit was out early - probably so he could beat the Zebra Longwing to the porterweed. And yes, it's purple!
