Little Melicope (Melicope rubra)

I planted this small tree as a food plant for the caterpillar of the Ulysses Swallowtail butterfly, and recently had my first laying and caterpillar.
The flowers are a wonderful by-product.

Plant it and they will come! Hopefully the butterflies will be fluttering about before too long. Love the pink blossoms.

The flowers are gorgeous. What a lovely tree, and even nicer that it attracted exactly the species you hoped. V

They are worth the work of planting in and of themselves. Very intriguing looking and very nice image. ~BV~
