While I was out...

It seems while I was out sick last Thursday that I missed some visitors to the garden who are also readers of this blog. If you are the couple from Miami that dropped by on July 29th, please drop me a line. I am truly sorry I was not here to greet you personally!

And for the rest of you tens of readers out there, if you are coming to visit the BioWorks Butterfly Garden at MOSI, please drop me a line so I can try to clear a few minutes in my schedule. There is always some time to be found for our garden-loving guests.

Lastly, I have some passionvine suckers that can be free to a good home. We are continuously pulling out young plants with nice tap roots when they come up in the wrong place. Passionvine is the host for a whole mess of butterflies:
Zebra Longwing (Heliconius charitonius)
Julia Longwing (Dryas iulia)
Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae)
Variegated Fritillary (Euptoieta claudia)

If you can use a teeny tiny passionvine, please comment here or email me at kristeng@mosi.org and we will make some arrangements! I may only have a few at a time, so please contact me to see if I can pull a few suckers. I am always happy to help someone else catch the butterfly gardening bug.
