I never knew they change colors! How cool! I tried the Christmas Cassia twice. Does grow very well for me, but just as an annual. They didn’t come back. I have a lot of caterpillars from the little orange guys on the sicklepots currently. The cloudless sulphurs showed up and have been laying eggs. Their chrysalis looks so cool.

Sherry,

I planted Bahama Senna (previously Cassia bahamensis) in March of this year. If you remember this plant suffered from some type of borer earlier in the summer. Well now it is starting to bloom and I found the first Cloudless Sulphur Caterpillar.

I had one cat on this plant right after I planted it in March. That cat started out yellow because there were some old blooms on the plant but the cat turned green when I had to feed it new growth instead of flowers. It was very interesting to watch. It pupated and eclosed just fine.

Hopefully, I'll have enough flowers or flower buds to keep this cat yellow.

I got to raise cloudless sulphurs for the first time ever this year. I put in wild senna seven years ago and partridge pea sometime after that. Mama butterflies finally found me this year. Simply amazing how the different instars mimic different parts of the wild senna. Really cool how some pupae are mostly pink.
