Very pretty Duane! I am jealous. I planted a native dutchman's pipe vine in my garden this year (A. Macrophylla) and it's really taken off. I researched very carefully before purchase and I'm certain it isn't poisonous to the cats. I think it's a tropical variety that causes the issues (A. Gigantea or some name close to that).

Thanks for the feedback.. Hopefully the PVS will find the pipevines and leave eggs... First PVS. Also saw first Monarch on liatris ligulistylis today.

Hummingbird moths love my dianthus and homestead purple verbena. Hope to get some cats on my native honeysuckles or arrowwood viburnums. I've seen up to 4 in the garden at once so far. They also visit the butterfly bushes:

Duane, what is the flower that the Pipevine is on? I've forgotten the name. I have two of those that are the same color and they are getting huge. The butterflies sure like them.

Hey does anyone know if the Pipevines swallowtails make all the way up here? I am increasingly seeing more and more dutchmans pipe and I know its a host. There are 3 Nurseries that are also carrying it.

Dutchman's Pipevine plant is NOT a host for Pipevine swallowtails. It will kill the cats. It's a host plant for Gold Rim butterflies (polydamas).
