These eggs came from incarnata, zizotes and texana. It is so hot that I am collecting early morning. I have plants in pots arranged by watering needs. I have about 10 incarnata, 35 zizotes, 80 viridis, 5 verticillata, 10 texana, and 90 tuberosa which will be planted in September or October in a 25 acre field we are dedicating to pollinator and butterfly plants plus grasses for wintering sparrows. I have 30 tropical in pots that I move into screened area in October to not interfere with migration. In the ground I have 30 tuberosa, 30 texana, 5 incarnata, 6 zizotes, 2 viridis, plus about 30 tropical that seeded last year and 4 tweedia (because it is pretty). The tropical in ground get cut nearly to ground in October but if we have a warm winter, even that doesn't help. That's why I dug up tropical in March and put in pots. There are lots of native nectar plants as well In our 1/3 acre yard in central Austin.
