Wow! I sure do hope the rest make it, too, MissSherry. I agree with Dan, that big cats do have a higher mortality rate than others. This includes the big sphinx cats, too. Today I found a Walnut Sphinx (amorpha juglandis) on a pecan seedlings in my yard.....finally. Since Randy found one earlier, I've been checking my foliage for signs of consumation of leaves. I totally missed this one, though, and he is about a 4th instar. I sure do hope he does not show signs of parasitization when he reaches the last instar of growth! Anyway, he is in a container now, with food, and I'll put some potting soil and leaves in the bottom today. They are very STRONG! When disturbed or threatened, they whip their upper torso back and forth almost violently! I guess it upset him when I was cutting foliage while holding him on a leaf at the same time, because he sure did make a fuss about it. I also have a baby tobacco hornworm on my tomatoes. I need to go back out and get her into a container as well. So far, I've had Tobacco Hornworms (manduca sexta) Tomato Hornworms (manduca quinquemaculata) Eumorpha Achemon Hemaris diffinis (Snowberry Clearwing sphinx) Amphion floridensis (Nessus sphinx) Trumpet Vine Sphinx Six different species in my urban yard! I think that's pretty darned good actually. Of course, those silk moths - one of these days I hope to see some in the yard. We are just on the westerly line for most of them. If I lived in Eastern Oklahoma rather than Central Oklahoma, I'd see more of them. Susan

Thank you 123greta & greenman28. I kept the leaf shaded under some larger plants that receive morning sun. We also had a nice rain and sunny days which I think helped speed up the rooting process a lot. Goodluck greenman28, hopefully you can try again soon. I know what you mean though when the plant allows because I don't have a lot to remove yet as the plant is fairly small :-).

Hi there ! If a lucky canadian gardener has a Variegated crassula ovata or a crassula Red Horn Tree, and has some cuttings to share, it would make me so happy ! Crassula Ovata variegated Crassula Red Horn Tree Thank you ! This post was edited by laelae_mtl on Sun, May 18, 14 at 21:46

I thought it looked like an aloe vera plant, but that is probably because I only "see upside down" as well as I can read upside down. (Which is not well at all.) Neither do I know if an aloe vera is a succulent.
