Makes me want spaghetti!

I often use my cell phone to take pics of the food I'm preparing/eatng to post on facebook; I heard a poll on the radio not long ago that says that photos of food are one of the least liked things people like to see on facebook; too bad, I'll still post my photos! :D

What a great deal! How unfortunate that I've only got about 3/4 of the price saved in my "new camera" account. :(

I recently went from a Dell to a MacBook Pro, too, and although I'm still trying to figure some things out, I really like it.
I never even thought about installing Windows 10 on it. Perhaps, after some time, you'll try the OS again and come to like it, but in the meantime, you do what you need to to feel comfortable.

Thanks for sharing those beautiful photos!

We've been unseasonably warm, also, and I'd like to think it means a less harsh winter....but I know better :(

Douglass, knowing you are an expert on milkweed and Monarchs may I ask if you think it would be a good/successful plan to grow the following species here in S.E. England. Asclepias curassavica which, I have read, is very easy to start from seed in most locations and Asclepias incarnata or swamp milkweed which is a perennial. I found this suggestion on the web:
http://www.glorious-butterfly.com/milkweed-seeds-in-the-uk.html

I really would like to encourage Monarchs but am worried it would be bad for them long term if Milkweed could only be found in my garden in this area. We had a different kind of Milkweed in spain which did not encourage butterflies but myriads of Oleander aphids.

I hope the OP doesn't mind me butting in.
I am a big fan of milkweed. br br Douglass, know... (show quote)


I don't mind.

Thanks for the nice comments.

I have already documented the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly, including milkweed images at the end of this album:

Thanks for the nice replies, everyone. I should have spent more time and gotten better pictures, but I was on lunch break from work, had to get back.

I am a big fan of milkweed. Currently I have four Monarch chrysalis that pupated last week, allowing me to finally cut-down my garden milkweed to 6-inch stems. Now, new growth will start. In Southern California, we grow Tropical milkweed year round. I will know in a few weeks whether my chrysalis will over-winter, or soon eclose to winged adults.


Will you be taking pictures?
