Another pot-- my aristolochia vine-- is finally getting going so I hope to see some pipevine cats before too long. Today I had a ST inspecting it, so maybe I'll get some activity soon.

In front of the dutchman's pipe vine I have some Liatris 'kobold'. I planted 30 corms of this (from Lowes) but the chipmunks had a feast on 25 of them. Still they are great nectar flowers and drought tolerant for the most part. We have about 5 different kinds of liatris in the BF garden. Great partners for echinaceas 'Ruby Star' and 'Ruby Giant'.
