Love the pictures! Hope all is well and sorted out.

I also took a picture of gulf fritillaries today. But this one actually happened while I was cleaning up after my dogs, so it's nothing I am going to post here. Sometimes you have to wonder what they are thinking. Gross.

Thanks Sherry! We have tons of lizards and are still trying to trap a spiny tailed iguana before he reaches his maximum 4-5 feet! When Tropical Storm Emily hit us Monday she brought in hundreds of frogs that croaked loudly all day and all night. But, by mid-morning Tuesday they had disappeared. Weird.

Thanks Iris! Things are looking up now :) Let me guess, the butterflies we're enjoying some dung. LOL It is pretty gross but I guess they get nutrients from it.

Very beautiful Rhonda ! What's the name of the red flower in the second photo ?

Thanks Jay! It's Spicy Jatropha, Jatropha integerrima which is a tropical shrub. It gets pretty big but is a great nectar plant.

I never knew that Jatrophas had such beautiful flowers. I was kild of wondering why people grew them with their being so poisonous and all.

Jay, since we don't have any kids around (55+ community) and no outdoor pets (unless you count the tons of lizards, iguanas and frogs) I don't have any problem planting them. But, you're right, you need to be careful about where you plant them.
