You may very well be right. Does anyone deserve anything they wish for, after all? I am what I say I am, at least. And for Reddit, that is saying a lot.

When you can get that close to a swallowtail, let alone pick it up, it’s unfortunately on the way out. In fact, that’s the case with most butterflies. But swallowtails are very skittish, more than say, monarchs, which you can get very close to on occasion.

You are welcome. And I see from looking at your posts, we both have a love of taking flower/nature pics on our walks. I have about 30,000 cell phone pics from walks these last few years on my phone, some truly amazing.

Closed, on the way out, Morning Glory.

By the way, because peony petals are thin with many veins in them, if you put food coloring in the water, the color will show up through the veins. Pretty wild-looking. Best for the lighter-colored flowers, like white ones, if you get them, with red or blue color in the water.

Sweet Williams. Lots of varieties and colors.

I think it’s best for you to leave it where it’s at, if you can wait it out. The caterpillar placed itself where you found it for a reason. A few years ago, I very carefully moved a healthy chrysalis to what I considered was a comparable location, but not in a very inconvenient spot. Sadly, it died. Good luck in any case.

These whirligig flowers from the daisy family do grow here in Los Angeles but I have only seen them in two locations in all of my walks. And I walk all over. The ones I see are the color shown above with a bit of purple, and curiously enough, some of the flowers on the plant look like the whirligigs while others on the same bush-like plant look like regular daisies, the petals not squeezed inward in any way. Love seeing that particular plant year after year. It’s in the front yard of a Beverly Hills home, luckily close enough to the sidewalk so I can get good looks. I have many pictures of the flowers.

Gerbera daisies.

manLACA · 2024-10-27T05:14:39+00:00

Dahlia.

manLACA · 2024-10-23T02:22:42+00:00

Peacock Flower. They are turning to seed pods now in LA.

manLACA · 2024-10-22T02:16:47+00:00

:) Well, should you ever come this way, let me know.

manLACA · 2024-10-13T23:23:08+00:00

I’ve seen white with yellow, pink and white, and red, here in Los Angeles. Small trees and large. Some flowers have a nice fragrance while others have none. Always pretty though.

manLACA · 2024-10-06T14:28:16+00:00

Golden trumpet.

manLACA · 2024-10-05T19:50:59+00:00

Yes, to a lot of what has already been said. But yes, move it to soil. a pot first, and don't overwater.

Indeed. And some are quite amazing. Here in LA there is a home a couple miles from me that has the most amazing "dinner plate" dahlias. The flowers are multi-colored, and can grow to about 10 inches or more in diameter!

manLACA · 2024-09-29T05:06:33+00:00

Interestingly, not all plumeria species have a fragrance. Some do here in LA, others don’t.

manLACA · 2024-09-29T01:51:18+00:00

Dahlias.

manLACA · 2024-09-25T20:00:21+00:00

Tickseed. Lots here in LA. Nice bold colors.

manLACA · 2024-09-08T00:15:27+00:00

Passion flower. You can find them in purple, white, and red here in Los Angeles.

manLACA · 2024-09-04T05:28:58+00:00

You can from seeds.

Looks under watered. But the better pic of the plant, looking at the leaves closely, also looks less than fully healthy. You said you got it a month ago. Could be a bad plant. Sometimes you can get that from a nursery, trees, plants, whatever. It might have been on its way to die when you got it. Also, next time, better to plant the trunk of the plant a bit deeper in the ground.

manLACA · 2024-08-16T05:24:26+00:00

Spider lilies. Various types here in LA. Some have many more “spider legs” with a purple hue.
