A “wild” Amaryllis (Hippeastrum striatum) popped up under my croton! I had no idea this beautiful thing was here, and can’t help wondering why it stayed hidden and how it got here…
I found some Little Leaf Notchers (Artipus floridanus) on my Barbados Cherry (Malpighia emarginata) tree. They are considered a pest, but after some research, I decided to leave them be. If my yard is a healthy enough ecosystem, other predators should keep them in check. Here’s hoping!
