Yesterday I was looking out the kitchen window while I was doing something and was watching a sulfur flying around my Partridge Pea plants. Then I realized it was not nectaring...egg-laying activity going on. I'm not sure what kind of sulfur it wasat that distance, but I started collecting eggs on cuttings this morning to put into containers and raise. Tiny pointed yellowish or orangish eggs. Then I checked the Lindheimer Sennas on the front part of the property and found tiny white pointy eggs on them and one tiny green cat, collected some of those also. I really didn't have time to check that much...difficult to find anything that small. Anybody know if the Partridge Pea stays fresh for a while if stuck into containers with water? I've got a LOT of those plants this year...already started making seed pods, also. I've always thought the flowers are just so CUTE!
