Just as I am basking in the Schlumbergeras’ glory,
something starts snacking on my Mona Lavendar.
At first I thought Mona was just losing leaves,
but where did they go?
Then I saw the tell tale (and tail) signs. (Pun intended.)
Poop from a caterpillar!
Here I am thinking everything is blooming and growing,
while Mona is being devoured right under my nose.
A gardener must never rest.
Even in winter, at night time, inside.
Stay vigilant folks.
While you are waiting for Santa, you may be visited by a Grinch-green, eating machine.

Did you dispatch the Mona molester? How much snow did you get?

It is always something in gardening – one must keep a good watch over our charges!

Is that a Swedish Ivy flower in the first photo of the culprit? I have an old plant that’s bloomed for the first time ever; I guess it’s finally in a good spot. I hope Mona is doing well.

Mona Lavender is a Plectranthus hybrid. The underside of the leaves is purple. It usually blooms in spring and fall, but my bringing it in tricked it into blooming again. Doing well, now that the snacking has ended.
