How green is my window


We got new plants today! One of them is the passion flower. Our old garden had two of these lovely creepers. We had not planted them for the flowers but for the butterflies they attract.

The passion flower plants are hosts to the Tawny Coaster butterflies. Medium sized, brick coloured slow flying beauties.

To our pleasant surprise ,the plant we selected was already "infected" by the caterpillars and we enjoyed convincing the lady at the nursery to let them be.
