What host plants have you seen the: Red-Spotted Purple use?
Comments (5)Steve, I was reading the section on red-spotted purples in my book The Butterflies of West Virginia and Their Caterpillars by Thomas J. Allen, and under the larval host plant section he listed in this order - black cherry/prunus serotina choke cherry/prunus virginiana serviceberry/amelanchier spp. big-toothed aspen/populus grandidentata quaking aspen/p. tremuloides silverleaf poplar/p. alba cottonwood/p. deltoides apple/pyrus malus (I thought all apples and crabapples were malus and pyrus was pears!) black oak/quercus velutina scrub oak/q. ilicifolia willow/salix spp. This is the first mention I've ever seen of RSPs using serviceberry or oaks.

Comments (12)I love GW. I agree 100% with GreenDesigns and all of you who suggested that the range should go on the one wall without any openings and the refrigerator should go back on the wall where it was. In fact, the mental picture I had of the kitchen that way was so beautiful that I completely forgot how we ended up with the fridge in the middle of the other wall. So we tested it out and rolled the refrigerator around the room (it's nice to be able to do that since it's the only thing in there) and tried it out everywhere. And then I remembered how we ended up with it in the kitchen design no-no spot. It's a monster. It's a 31 cu. ft french door model that is basically 36"x36". On an unrelated note - it rolls around like a Cadillac - so easy to move! Here it is in it's proposed spot: Anyhow.... the little walls opposite from each other next to the doors to the living room and laundry room stick out not quite 35". The little wall on the other side by the dining room sticks out not quite 31". The doorways are tiny - the one on the south wall is only 30" wide. Putting the refrigerator on either end of the run that you all so wisely suggested just feels cramped both ways. On the dining room side the refrigerator door opens into the dining room opening which is where people always seem to congregate when we entertain. I was constantly having to open the refrigerator door in their face and say "Excuse me". On the other end of that run it makes the entry into the kitchen from the living room seem very cramped and makes for an odd view from the hall/living room. And we'd have the same problem of the refrigerator door swinging into the opening. I guess since that rubbed us the wrong way with the old layout we gravitated towards the polar opposite. I so badly wanted it to work that way you suggested, especially picturing the backsplash I want for the range, but the structure of this house (a very tiny 1950 tract home) is not cooperating. So I think we will have to break with design guidelines and stick that monster frig in the middle of the wall. Hopefully with the wall cabinets it won't look too strange in the middle of the counter run. I haven't given up on your suggestions completely. This is not our forever kitchen but it is our right-now kitchen so we have to go with what feels most comfortable even if it looks a little odd. If we ever have the opportunity to build a larger kitchen I am keeping GreenDesigns suggestion in my notes because I LOVE the idea of a range in the middle of a larger counter run and the refrigerator wall as more of a snack center with a smaller counter run to one side and the toaster oven right there. And I haven't abandoned the idea for this kitchen entirely yet either... Thank you so much! I have learned so much from this discussion. I'll definitely post pictures of whatever we decide to do and I'm sure this won't be my last question. Back I go to rolling the refrigerator around......See MoreSpot the difference, if you can!
Comments (8)Rina, it only cost less than £1 as it was a very small plant, so I didn't break the bank and spend the kids inheritance! Just wish they would get their labelling correct....I did have my suspicions though, honest! Howard, hi there. My jades are doing better than I am at the moment as I'm off work at the mo with a viral chest infection, have been pushing myself into work (far too much the family tell me) to keep occupied, but I've crumbled just lately. Am worn out so need a couple weeks off work taking things easy for a change and hoping the meds kick in to sort me out. Gill UK...See MoreCan you spot the difference?
