Thank you for the positive ID, @Artemisia! I have a few fluttering about and this one doesn’t seem too interested in the host plant for egg laying. 😉 The buttonbush blooms have no discernible scent - but clearly, the pollinators love it anyway. It may be so slight we humans can’t pick it up. It took 3 years for it to bloom. Worth the wait! ---

Thank you. Usually at the time of year they are struggling because of the heat and lack of rain. This has been a strange weather year for Texas. ---

Thank you. I grew the pineapple by accident. I put a pineapple top in dirt and 3 years later I have a pineapple. I had no idea they were so easy to grow. ---

Now that’s cool!! I had a similar thing happen when I was simply trying to compost a pumpkin. A little guy popped up the following summer! 😀 ---

You can always start a garden in flower pots! ---

@Ostara I tried to grow a sunflower that was supposed to be guaranteed to grow, but it never grew! I do have a pot and some potting soil. I could put it on my balcony like other people do. Thank you for the idea. ---

Pothos. It’s almost impossible to kill. It even grows in just water. ---

@Ostara thank you! I also bought this! ![image](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/5/5/558d0eedc647589d7b7abe6c1a8ec00e3d8523b6.jpeg) This was what I bought the flower pot for. ---

Just adding info 🙏 - Pothos (aka Devil’s Ivy) is toxic to dogs and cats as they contains calcium oxalates. I love my pothos plants and they are super easy to grow, as @Ostara says, but mine are safely out of reach of my critters.
