Hope for Ray

Goodness gracious sakes alive. Red reports 2.4 tics in the rain guage this morning so the running total for "I am Cotton for Spit Month and the CB Tree is Two Species of Aesculus" is a whopping 5". Yippee! Some of the little ones may flower at last, perhaps.

Let me see. What else? Oh yes. Here somewhere is a nice picture of the perianth of Aristolochia longiflora that some do call Aristolochia erecta and some do call swan-flower. Here also somewhere is the caterpillar that does metamophosize into the pipevine swallowtail butterfy that does habitat upon the swan-flower somewhat.

Ray is very busy. Crumby and Rayetta are also, very busy. Goodness!
