Very nice! Are you going to return and document their growth?

Yes they are common here in this part of central Texas also but am not seeing any this year but probably will later. Hope you are able to go back as they grow.

Here in the southeast the cats feed almost exclusively on passion flower leaves. Is this the same elsewhere or is this the diet?
