But I think I remember the pipevines at Natural Gardener in full sun. <br /><br />And Sandy, I'll be on the look out for chrysalises.Sheryl Smith-Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707017321692698815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567299696963524925.post-10643846576496237842012-05-14T18:40:39.855-05:002012-05-14T18:40:39.855-05:00Great Post!

The only place that I've heard that carries it is The Natural Gardner (unfortunately they are out). I've read that not all pipevines are good for butterflies. So I'm trying to be careful about what I plant.<br /><br />Is your pipevine in the sun? I'm wondering if this vine needs some shade.Steph@RamblingWrenhttp://ramblingwrentx.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567299696963524925.post-59617366733127800122012-05-14T14:29:46.773-05:002012-05-14T14:29:46.773-05:00Beautiful!Beautiful!CWPickenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116112697302206255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567299696963524925.post-60977806076846426102012-05-14T12:03:07.814-05:002012-05-14T12:03:07.814-05:00I just went out to check on my pipevine caterpilla...I just went out to check on my pipevine caterpillar cuties. I have a fairly large area of pipevine plants, but had lots of caterpillars and now there's nothing but stems. They even ate the seed pods! I'm worried because I see one guy left and he's eating stems. I have parsley nearby, but he's not interested. Hope he has enough nourishment to make a cocoon. <br />Would you please post a photo of a cocoon if you find any; after all that munching, I can't see one cocoon!sandy lawrencenoreply@blogger.com
