My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Monarch Cats

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago
Yesterday I picked up 4 swamp milkweeds (asceplias incarnata) at the Florida Natural History Museum's fall butterfly plant sale. There were 3 cats and a few eggs (that I could see, probably are more). This morning all 3 were still chewing away. One was bigger than the others and when I went out later this afternoon to plant them, he had crawled off.

I got a few pics this evening. Enjoy.
Rhonda
