The Compass Plant has finally flowered!  I threw down this seed four years ago and have watched it mature from its cotyledons to now its first flower.  I almost flowered a couple weeks ago, but was devistated to see that the bud was broke off.  But today, I am proud to post its first flower.

I went out today and checked on the Spicebush caterpillars today.  They are getting bigger and turning into a pretty green and yellow.  The fake eyespot is very distinct now which make them look even goofier.  There are only a few of the caterpillars compared to the couple dozen eggs that the butterly laid.  I hope the few left will survive so I can continue to watch them transform.
