I was walking around the garden and I noticed these 2 butterflies screwing so I snapped a bunch of pics. Does anyone know if this would even be possible for these to different butterflies to produce offspring? Also I wonder what the hell they would look like. The Monarch said once you go black




I also snapped a couple pics of a couple of plants I thought you'd like

Here is one of my mutated Mortgage lifters. Damn this thing is HUGE;)

Yep 2 different species as well. I wonder what kind of kids would come from this. A new species possibly?

Never seen that before... That darker butterfly might be a swallowtail

I didn't know they could cross breed like that...

They're called something a red spotted black butterfly. Might actually be a swallowtail though because I couldn't get a good pic of the end of it's wings.
I hope something interesting comes from this meating

Well I took some more pics today and I thought this would be a good place to put them
Here are a few pics I took of one of my passion flower plants today "passiflora incarnata".


Here are 9 other passiflora incarnate that are perking up and putting out new shoots after I transplanted them from their original home.

My Moringa tree is getting pretty big in it's pot but the 2 I have in the ground aren't looking quite as good but I know they'll perk up.

Here are a few different colored and styled Clematis cuttings that have rooted. Some are putting out new shoots and seem to be ready to plant. I have 2 varieties here that aren't available to buy anymore so I'm really excited to have a few cuttings for them as well as a couple others that are being sold now a days.
These are my absolute favorite type of flowers vs all others. You can't beat a well placed colorful clematis plant;)

Here are some Chamomile flowers that I'm about to harvest to make me a nice calming and soothing tea with some of my Lemon Balm and passion flower

I hope you all enjoy these pics and I hope to see some of you guys garden pics as well

I'm in love with those passifloras! I know I've mentioned it before, but those have to be my all time favorite flowers! They are so damn unique and intricate. I've got the same species going from some cuttings I got recently myself. Do you ever let your flowers go to fruit? How much fruit do you see off a single plant? Anything special you do to make them bloom so happily?

I have a ton of photos I've uploaded but haven't posted yet because I'm a bit busy.
Here is one of some of the fruits I took a week or so ago so they're a lot larger than this now.

The 'passion fruit' that most people think of is passiflora edulis, but there are many related species that also produce edible fruits. This one, passiflora incarnata, goes by 'passion fruit' as well as other names including 'maypop' and 'wild apricot'...

Most pictures taken of passiflora are of the flowers so the fruit are often missed.
They taste WONDERFUL. Kind of tangy and sour but with just enough sweet to make it pop IMHO
If you've never eaten a ripe passion fruit I suggest you go find one and give it a try.

I love passion fruit juice. I went to a few local nurseries today, one of them had 4 foot high dragon fruit plants, and there was a segment laying in the pot with roots. They gave it to me when I asked about it. At a different nursery the guy cut me 4 huge paddles from a opuntia with beautiful yellow flowers.

I was taking some pics of the beautiful moon we had tonight so when I was done I decided to snap a few update photos while I was at it.
Sorry these pics aren't very good because I wa staking them in near complete darkness but I do hope you all enjoy them

 I recently set up my mini clear green house to place my grafts in hoping that they'll grow a bit thicker with a larger amount of direct sun. I hope it helps.
 Here are some updated pics of my older grafts as well as a pic of my damaged nitro cross that got eaten up a couple weeks ago when I accidentally left it on the ground one night. What do you guys think would be best to do in hopes to save it because it's getting a bit soft.
 Here is my bridge pupping at 4 different places "to on the bottom I didn't get a pic of. As well as a strange cross I received a couple years ago. The Hybrid has some strange growth patterns. It grows small spikes in new growth keeping the same size spines for a long time but as it gets older it seems to grow out the spines at the very bottom of the plant. The guy I got it from said this is normal with this one though. When I got it though the very bottom had VERY long spines and the upper area had small ones. I buried above the long spines but they seem to still be growing moving up the stalk.
Has anyone ever heard of spikes growing out from Very old growth and not just at the new growth area?
 I believe this one is a peruvianus. I love the coloring on this one
These are my 2 larger Dragon fruit cuttings that have been putting on some very nice new growth recently as well as a few of my Dragonfruit seedlings.
 And finally here is my strange Dragonfruit seedling. I believe it has some monstrose style mutation because it's not growing normal in looks and it's growing WAY WAY slower that all my others. It also has some strange areoles placed all over it in a strange uneven pattern.
I hope all you guys grows are going as well as mine atm. If you have anything interesting you're welcome to post your pics here if you want
