#fennel #newgrowth lots of food for more blackswallowtail caterpillars! #butterflyhostplant

💚

Is this the flower or new growth? We had lots of wild fennel where I lived and never saw this. I also never saw them flower or fruit. Super cool!! 😁👍 Thanks for my daily dose of new growth 🥰💚

@sarahkbartley it's just the new growth 😉 The summer heat usually kills it before it flowers, so this last year I started seeds at the end of summer so it has all fall and winter here to get big and strong! So hopefully it will flower before summer 😬
