This past weekend I attended an awesome plant sale at the Edison and Ford Winer Estates that had everything you could think of, including an abundance of butterfly plants.

I love when you buy a plant and take home a bonus caterpillar. Well that is exactly what happened this weekend. The caterpillar is now a guest in our butterfly house.

Meet our new addition, the white peacock butterfly caterpillar. I bought its host plant, frogfruit for a great price.

It is a low growing groundcover and has white and purple flowers. I have a feeling it is going to quickly take over and fill in the space of the garden, with the hope it will attract many white peacock butterflies.

Once the caterpillar is mature it will have small white spots, I have read. It will be fun to watch it grow and create its chrysalis.
