Would like to score a passion flower vine if you still have any? I have some Easter lily bulbs/rhizomes that have done well in shade over the years...interested?

Mine were very late to awaken last year when they were stressed from the late freeze we had. I would give it more time before you give it up for dead. Also, I wouldn't cut it back until it shows signs of life.

This is going to sound somewhat stupid but it is actually called a butterfly bush or buddleia. I was looking for the same thing and was pointed to it. Mine is still in the pot but the butterflies already love it. Mine is called the Royal Red. *edit* sorry I can help you with a vendor in your area. I wouldn't be surprised if your local nursery stocked them. SCG This post was edited by SouthCountryGuy on Sun, Aug 11, 13 at 18:36

I got lucky w/the swallowtail. I didn't think I'd ever get a shot of him, but he finally settled down for a few seconds on one flower, then a few seconds on another. That was it. He was constantly moving. Caterwallin, I appreciate the offer, but we have about all of the flowers we can handle in the room that is available to us. We have over two thousand plus bulbs and flowers in the front gardens alone. Almost every square inch in two flower beds is filled with flower bulbs and roots. All but one of the other flower beds are almost as full. I'm *trying* to keep the rest of the front garden as edible landscaping. The flowers help to attract pollinators and beneficial insects for the edible garden. Plus, from time to time, I get to take pretty pics, and share the beauty with others!
