I must try to remember...jennifer@threedogsinagarden<br />I must try to remember when and if I see this rather scary looking caterpillar with its spiked amour, that it will morph into a beautiful Buckeye butterfly. I don't think this type of butterfly has ever made an appearance in my garden. Perhaps it is time to add snapdragons and verebena bonariensis.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-33657190908829048332011-11-15T18:00:40.810-05:002011-11-15T18:00:40.810-05:00That was a good discovery!

While taking the Master Gardener training I learned that Monarchs like to form their chrysalis on rosemary plants. It was always a mystery to me where they went when they left the milkweed in my garden. Gonna add a rosemary bush next to the butterfly weed in hopes of catching a glimpse of the chrysalis.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872899189875117518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-23293647027539853412011-11-14T21:56:41.725-05:002011-11-14T21:56:41.725-05:00Very cool snapdragons.

Neat butterfly too. I've never seen a buckeye caterpillar. <br /><br />Are you planning to go to the blogger get together in May in Asheville since you live kind of close. If so I'd love to meet you and thank you for that sinful fudge recipe.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-30645030972700804552011-11-14T21:43:35.979-05:002011-11-14T21:43:35.979-05:00My perennial snapdragons were great for two season...My perennial snapdragons were great for two seasons, then didn't come back.
