Not sure if Hoya nectar is meant for butterflies, as they often get their proboscises trapped and there they remain
Bit daft to have the plant at Butterfly world, then?

Lesley, you're right that I am finding it more difficult these days even to grow hair  :'(

Anthony, I will let you know if I trap one of the marked ones returning from less than 1/2 mile.

The cat that made this hole unearthed Tulips and Dactylorizas. It maybe thought it was a rabbit

Careful there Mark...what that cat deposited in the hole might just look like a dislodged rhizome....

(poor Dactylorhiza. the bulb is much easier to just pop back in...)
