Pretty bloom and the umm, err, visitors are interesting too :)

Outstanding photo of the passie and friends;o)

You can tell by the leaves that they think they have a tasty dinner here! LOL. I think those cats are so pretty though. Anyone know which butterflies they are? Great photo!

Beautiful shot Onalee!

Kell: Those are Zebra Longwing Caterpillar's whose host plant is the Passiflora:

Thanks Lin! They are cool, look like their former cat selves don't they but stripes instead of polka dots!

Thanks - I have tons of these vines and *tons* of butterflies (and cats) to go along with them! Love them!
