Love In A Puff

Have you seen the Seeds of Love?

They can be found inside puffy seedpods like this one.

This plant is called Love in a Puff, Heartseed, Heart Pea or scientifically, Cardiospermum Halicacabum.

It's climbing stems carry little white flowers.

Love in a Puff  is an invasive weed.

Nevertheless, I still grow them for the little white hearts they produce.

It is restrained in a pot to prevent from outrageous growth.

Have you seen any other seed that comes with a heart?

Butterfly with a Heart

Unlike most butterflies who come to drink nectar, this one just hovered around my daughter for a very long time.

After doing some research, I found out that it is called the Danaid Eggfly or Mimic (Hypolimnas misippus).

From my research, I also discovered how it looked like as a caterpillar.

Hey! That looks familiar!

It is one of those who ate up my cabbage leaves.

I am glad that it came back to say hello.

Surprisingly , it stayed around pretty long.

I wonder if this was the butterfly who created the heart on my cabbage leaf and allowed the flowers to be noticed.

Who Like Weeds?

I've just been to GardenWalkGardenTalk and discovered that she likes weeds.

You would like them too if you have weeds like hers.

More and more people are loving weeds, admiring what other creatures of nature have been attracted to all these while.

This is a weed loving butterfly.

Insects love to hang around wild flowers. 

Some are there to drink nectar.

Some are lurking around to capture those that are out for a drink.

Others might just be romancing.

Goldee loves weeds. I often find her eating them.

Some people says that dog eat grass or weeds when they don't feel well.

Goldee definitely doesn't look ill to me.

She probably likes the fiber and nutrition that comes with weeds.

Who else love weeds?
