5-12 Starflower, Wild Azalea, cocoon

5-12 A single whorl of 5 - 10 leaves and white star-shaped 7 petaled flowers make Starflower easy to identify.

Wild Azaleas are starting to add a touch of pink to rocky or ledgy hillsides.

A Cecropia, AKA Robin moth will- with a little luck - emerge from this cocoon within the next few weeks. John
