amazing. those zinnias make nice cut flowers too but you probably can't take them away from the bflies. I've got milkweed and have monarchs daily. The caterpillars are being eaten.. birds and the bumper crop of frogs. well it's a good thing I'm not in charge of nature. It would be nuts deciding who doesn't get to eat.
thanks for growing host plants for the primary purpose of caterpillars harvesting them.
is there a group of lepidopterophiles (is that a word?) in TV?
