The Fritillaries devoured our Passiflora plant last year so we had to give it to a friend so it could recover in her screened patio. So, too kick start the season I brought the plant back and added two more to our garden. The plant immediately increased the numbers of both Fritillaries and Longwings. It's so awesome to see the butterflies flying around the garden. On most days we can see Monarchs, Fritillaries, and Longwings. Queens are less common, but they do come to our garden.
Fritillaries appear to have SUPER senses; they find the plant as soon as I put it out and cover it with eggs.
This is a picture of one of the three monarch caterpillars we've raised this season. Stay tuned for our next post when we share some new discoveries in our garden.
