Lisianthus, Eustoma grandiflorum.

Thanks for your help. The Cat rolled one of the leaves and I assumed it was going to a pup? The next day I found it in the little tray of water I had placed in the tank! ugh. I have searched all the rest of my plants and could not find another one. It may be a cutworm, tdogmom. And Larry, if you want the penny, email me with your address. Are you a collector? Thanks again. I have enjoyed this site and will be back.

I have found that the flowers of all the plants in the carrot family attract large numbers of insects including many types of wasps and hover flies, tiny beetles, etc. If you let the parsley and carrots flower in their second year they will be insect magnets too. In my yard the fennel, parsley, and goldenrod flowers attract the greatest number and variety of insects by far. It is fascinating to watch the swarm surrounding them when they are at their peak. If the swarm bothers you, but you still want the foliage for the caterpillars just cut off the flower stalks. The rue flowers are not as busy and it seems to be a last choice as far as black swallowtail eggs at least here. It is an attractive plant though and may get giant swallowtails to lay on it as well. Be careful when working with it though because it may cause some light sensitive skin blistering in people. I would make sure that the peat moss never dries out until the seedlings get a good start because once it dries out it is pretty hard to re-wet.

Hello Larisa! Congratulations on the clone - people call it a 'keiki' (which I believe means baby in Hawaiian). That new plant will grow new roots and you can cut it off by snipping an inch of stem on either side of it and potting it up once it grows a few roots(I don't see any yet in your picture). It is probably unlikely the plant will flower from that 'stem' (people here call it a spike), so once your keiki matures, you can cut both the spikes down at the base of the plant. The plant will produce a new spike once it's ready to flower again. What is the plant potted in right now?
