Richmond Birdwing Vine

I left them inside my house in their original small tubes wrapped in plastic for a few weeks (and poured some water through a hole I made in the plastic), then repotted the vines into larger pots with premium potting mix and put them in an outdoor shady spot for several more weeks. They're thriving! I'll put them in the ground in a shady spot shortly to grow up some palm trees, so fingers crossed...

Richmond Birdwing Vine

I purchased this plant for the Richmond Butterfly as I have native bees and love to see creatures in my garden. At this stage the vine is just establishing it self but I love to watch it extend up my trellis

Richmond Birdwing Vine

We planted one about 6 months ago. It's now spring and is about 2 meters tall. We've lead it up via twine to a palm tree. It seems very happy but we're yet to see any flowers or butterflies. Hopefully over the summer.

Bought this vine to grow up a tree to give it a more tropical look and do my bit for the local rare butterfly. Needs water occasionally. Growth has been slow.

Planted in ground. Plant is a little more straggly than I expected.  The flowers have just started. Not really noticable, but it was planted for environmental reasons, to assist with getting birdwing butterflies back into the area.I have not seen any ...
