I've seen pictures of that butterfly and always wanted to see one.

I really enjoyed your pictures and reading about your garden in Costa Rica. Good luck!

WOW!!! loved all your photos! What 'vine' type of plant did you use to create that shady tunnel....and what supports it?

I think it's some kind of wild Ipomoea, like some kind of morning glory. It has very small flowers though. It takes over during the rainy season and then dies back each dry season. We gave it some bamboo poles to climb up and then it runs along the top of a wall.

Thanks for the coments about the photos.

The vine is a type of Ipomoea like pura vida said. It's common name around here and on commercial seed packs is Scarlett Cypress Vine.
