The smell when walking out the front door is heavenly, all because the jasmine tree is in full bloom. The butterflies spend time in this tree, and on a rare occasion a caterpillar makes its chrysalis on the branches, or leaves.
The candlestick cassia is also starting to bloom, soon its showy yellow flowers will begin to open from the bottom to the top. This plant has a mind of its own and has grown in a variety of ways. This plant has survived three hurricanes, and has started making its way back again, which is great because the orange barred sulphur visits it on a daily basis laying eggs. Last check there were quite a few caterpillars chomping away.
