askye at 10:16pm on 18/06/2007I had a very nice birthday with shopping and good food. Got Dad 2 cds for Father's DAy and some plants plus we watched David Tennant Doctor Who... Dad likes him better than CE.
For my birthday Dad got me two really amazing dragonfly wall hangings that go perfectly with my living room.
And caterpillars. Yes you read right. He got me a "Happy Home" this mesh dome with platform thing, a fennel plant, a hoptree, and 4 caterpillars and an egg. Except the very largest of the caterpillars on the hoptree a Giant Swallowtail, at the leaf and the egg. At least I think it did. There was a tiny baby Giant Swallowtail caterpillar but I can't seem to find it.
On the fennel are Black Swallowtail caterpillars. Eventually they will crawl someplace and spin a cocoon and then emerge as butterflies.
It's like a cross between pets and a science experiment. I need to figure out where to plant the hoptree and hop it produces more leaves. And plant the fennel. But that will be put off until tomorrow evening when I'm home when it's cool. The problem might be finding enough light, my backyard is rather shady.
Mom actually got me two pretty glass vases to put the branches of fennel and hop tree, I was using plastic containers.
