I'm sort of an expert on them having found 5-6 different sub species of them in the US. <br /><br />Here is my list of host plants for Silvery Checkerspots:<br />Wingstem Verbesina alternifolia, sunflowers Helianthus including Thinleaved Sunflower Helianthus decapetalus, Pale-leaved Sunflower H. strumosus and Jerusalem Artichoke H. tuberosus<br /><br />Meg just found me a Thinleaved Sunflower, it is on this list, now it needs planting.Randy Emmitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292186655869617897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-57133639019102020842011-07-20T13:30:43.943-05:002011-07-20T13:30:43.943-05:00I hope I get to meet you, Gail, at Fling.
