I had previously posted these photos with bad links so they didn't show up. I think I've got it fixed now.
Very nice, Kelly. Beautiful photo of the green lynx.
Thanks for sneaking some additional inverts in.
Hope all is well.
I am very happy I found this. I was planning on planting a Gallberry. But thinking twice about it. I don't want it eaten up by caterpillars. Cool picture though.
Gallberries really are pretty tough plants, and almost always look good, even if a few caterpillars live off of a few of their leaves. I would encourage you to give it a try. Native plants are good for wildlife and are resistant to drought and disease. Best to you either way.
