The Crooked Garden   PLANT LIST 
The Butterfly Caterpillar column lists the name of the butterflies that lay eggs on that plant,
and then the hatched Caterpillar uses the HOST PLANT for food.
Check this link to review the metamorphosis butterfly cycle.

(All the plants are numbered, and these same numbers appear on the plant signs in the Crooked Garden too.)
