Sheila and Deb - That's awesome that the 2 of you got to meet up for a visit. And Deb is so nice to share a bunch of her cats with Sheila! That's Deb!!!

Greenie - Most cats are piggies. They can devour an entire plant in a few short days! Which is why some folks grow the host plants in and among the nectar plants. That kind of hides the missing or chewed up plants. I have been in your shoes plenty of times buying more plants to feed them.

Here's a photo of several of the GF butterflies that emerged yesterday morning. I released more today. I just open the top of the cage and away they flew! It made me think of pretty winged fairies going out into the world to spread some magic and drop some fairy dust on everyone! :-)
