Hi guys,
Well Thank You very much for the offer's to help with the membership. But I'd rather see donations made to the folks who really need it like the flood victims in CA or those that went thru those terrible snow storms up north. I won't be MIA for long, just need to pay down some bills and that means really tightening the belt for a bit.

Rita - your vine is Aristolochia trilobata Dutchman's Pipevine http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/55366/

Host plant for the Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly....here's a pic of the caterpillar, I grow it just for them. The bloom is fairly small and the vine can get huge !


I've spent the last few days dragging plants out of the barn, and cleaning in the greenhouse as well as doing some repairs around the farm. Busy week next week. Hopefully I get a chance to post some pics before tonight !
