Snouts are so cute. I've never heard of a Brazil tree. Pretty

My red passion vine is a "Passiflora coccines." The seeds came from Swallowtail Garden Seeds in CA. My GF has been munching away on this red vine its entire life. The cat just pupated today and it's little chrysalis is hanging gaily from a forked stick I placed in its cage. There were more late eggs and small cats on the vine, but I left them there to fend for themselves. I was taking a chance with the Frit I brought in. I fear it will eclose and have to go out into freezing temps with no nectar to be found. I'm in the same dilemma as Mjsponies -- a panicked mom.

Melanie, I put my passi leaves in water. But I like the refrigerator idea. After all, lettuce and other salad leaves keep entraordinaly well.

P.S. Love all the photos. They keep me in springtime!
