Gulf Fritillary
Friday, February 1st, 2019Recently found two Gulf Fritillary on my passiflora. When I converted part of the courtyard to succulents and drought tolerant plants, I made the mistake of moving my passiflora. It did not survive. There were some volunteers in another garden that I transferred to trellises in the courtyard. That is where the two Gulf Fritillary were found.
In the past, the majority of the Gulf Fritillary made it through their cycle to emerge as lovely butterflies. The first time I saw one I mistakenly thought it was a Monarch. Now I know they look nothing alike. Well, both have orange and black wings.
Need to check my archives for photos of Gulf Fritillary.

Solandra maxima
Friday, February 1st, 2019The images of the Solandra maxima are a plant that went nearly an entire year without a leaf. But it wasn’t dead. Thought I would wait and see.
The plant typically begins blooming in January. The plant is 12 feet long, has leaves, and at the very end of the plant, buds and flowers.
