Aristolochia californica attracts Pipevine Swallowtail Butterflies and their larva.The flowers of Aristolochia californica are very interesting.Adult Pipevine Swallowtail Butterflies feed on the nectar supplied by Arctostaphylos flowers and then lay eggs on the Aristolochia vines. This is Arctostaphylos densiflora ‘Howard McMinn’.
February was a super cold month in Ontario and the beginning of March the same. We have one more night dipping to -15C then up to more seasonal temp.The only flowers in the garden right now are few snowdrops, few on the still snow covered side and one which I found yesterday on an exposed hill side which also gets very little snow.
Wow Mike I'm impressed by your Corydalis we've never had much success with them perhaps because we kept them in pots. However we do have 4 tiny Eranthis flowers coming out. I think this is about the 5th lot we've tried so I'm elated.
Crikey, Mike, things are well along in your lovely garden!
Self sown Corydalis solida is now a wonderful weed in my garden, even appearing in the front garden where I have never planted any. I blame the birds.
Stunning Corydalis Mike. I was feeling smug about mine self sowing today but I now realise I have some way to go!
