Butterfly Babies Again




Someone might recognise the pot... it's vintage, an ex-'money tree' (it grew gold coins) from my 16th birthday and signed by some very good friends. We have a total of 12 chrysalises and two fat caterpillars (all called Charlie) making their way through the swan plants. There were so many caterpillars on the original swan plant at one stage, we decided to feed them pumpkin as a substitute as suggested by www.monarch.org.nz in an effort to save the plant.

One of the chrysalises stars in Mum's ESOL lessons - clear, transparent, opaque... etc.

Hopefully I'm off to the Lyttelton Festival tomorrow, I'll take my camera with me. I do love going through the tunnel and seeing the harbour on the other side!
