It's the host plant for the orange and black 'wanderer' and 'lesser wanderer' butterflies: Danaus plexippus plexippus (Wanderer) and Danaus chrysippus petilia (Lesser Wanderer). Info courtesy of 'Butterflies of Australia' by Common and Waterhouse. They may all be exotics but are beautiful and not really invasive unless there's a great number of the cotton bushes, they are easy to pull out but do seed quite readily. Enjoy both the bushes and the butterfly larvae!Elaine coolowlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558012226587511418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789824185334583755.post-2479469198484703362011-01-07T15:38:52.355+10:002011-01-07T15:38:52.355+10:00This is a great shot, the water drops so clear and...This is a great shot, the water drops so clear and shiny and the background just a bit blurry and misty looking.
