I saw that too and I have lots of ruellia because of it but I never see the white peacock's on them or their eggs. Maybe they prefer the water hyssop. Since I...

Dawn, A good one is Zinnia angustifolia or Narrow Leaf Zinnia. Also, Ageratum would be good. Ginger in SC ************************************** See what's new...
Hi Ginger: After doing some research, I like the look of Ageratums. They have a lot of dense blooms to fill in areas. I like the color as well. I've had good...
