Field Notes

Description:

Not sure if this spicata or argentea. Growing in abundance on the edge of the road away from cultivated gardens so presume this would have propagated from bird droppings. As you can see the butterflies love it

Thanks Atul! The Blue Tigers love this plant, it was difficult trying to get a photo without. I gave up in the end. They are both beautiful : )
