Congrats, Sandy!
I've seen more cloudless sulphurs this spring than ever, so they're yet another type of butterfly whose numbers are way up. I love how CS cats are green when they eat the leaves, then turn yellow when they eat the flowers of my Christmas cassia. Yours probably won't have any flowers to eat this early, so they'll probably be green with the beautiful blue line.

Sherry, you're right, they probably will all be green. Just found some Spicebush caterpillars and eggs. Wow! Never so much this early.

Sandy

There's nothing prettier than those big yellow sulfurs on bright red or blue salvia. My camera can't capture the colors though.
What are you finding eggs on? I planted cassia hebecarpa seeds this year but only got one seedling. Prairie Moon's website says they grow 4 to 6 feet tall.

Christie,

They are on my hebecarpa and marilandica which come back every year. You may get seedlings next year. Some of the seeds don't germinate the first year.

Sandy

Thanks for letting me know Sandy. I will keep that container around and maybe a few more will sprout next year.

Hi, Sandy, and congrats! When I saw your post my first thought was, gee, they're early! Heehee!

My S. hebecarpa died a couple years ago. I have S. bicapsularis coming up, but it has to get really warm here for them to take off with much growth. I love S. hebecarpa in bloom - it's gorgeous!

I had 3 Red Admirals on the butterfly feeder late yesterday afternoon, so am confirming they are plentiful this year!
