Wild Passion

I've been hoping to get a butterfly on a wild Passionflower, but this grasshopper had a different idea. :0)

The Passionflower is Tennessee's state wildflower. It's also called Maypops and Passion Vine. It's a host plant for Gulf Fritillaries and Variegated Fritillaries.

Thank you so much for stopping by my project!!! :0)

Good news! The birthday fairy brought me the NWF Field Guide! My post for the day after my birthday will be a new butterfly (Gorgone Checkerspot, p. 287) identified only with the help of the NWF guide!

Spectacular Capture!

I didn't have a chance to look last night - check out mine today that I just posted - matches. Also had a great shot of the passion flower but they weren't together. Saw a question mark butterfly last night - kind of scroungy and couldn't get a good shot. Your guys are traveling west!! Love this shot of yours. Have you come across a milkweed borer yet? They're kind of neat looking.

[Carole Imes]

Awesome shot. The detail is overwhelming!

[Pyrrhula]

This will do indeed. A great and beautiful colored pic.
Tomato`s need a lot of warmth and sunshine
