Swan plant - chapter 3

We planted our first swan plant back in October. Since then, it's gone from strength to strength, providing a nursery and food source for Monarch butterfly caterpillars.


Now it's developed some lantern like seed pods so I'm hoping that we'll have dozens of swan plants next year and dozens more butterflies... It looks as though that might take some human intervention though so I'm waiting for the pods to dry out and then I can collect and sow the seeds.
