One...

One unopened dutchman's pipe. This creeper is a garden escapee and now a class 3 weed which means it can not be sold through garden stores. It is very similar to some native plants that attract butterflies. However, if butterflies lay their eggs on this plant the larvae are killed by its poisonous leaves. The rare Richmond birdswing butterfly has become a threatened species because of this vine.
Intersting.

That might be why I haven't seen one for a long time. A very unusual and harmful plant.

Gosh, at a first glance I thought it looked a bit ominous. My maiden name was Richmond..... so perhaps my instincts were right! Great shot though
