Loropetalum (Loropetalum chinensis, Hamamelidaceae) is an evergreen shrub. Also known as Chinese witch hazel or Chinese fringe flower, it puts on a beautiful show in spring with small, frilly flowers, typically pink.
NB: not captive, seen on an exterior wall.
White-fringed weevils are native to southern South America.
I learned that they are invasive here in Australia, now pests of agricultural crops.
Adults feed on the foliage of hundreds of plant species. Larvae feed on roots and their damage is more serious, especially on crops or young pines in plantations and nurseries.

Chinese fringe flowers are considered to be low-maintenance, hardy shrubs. These relatives of the witch-hazel are adaptable to a wide range of light, soil, and moisture conditions.
Parnassia fimbriata is native to western North America from Alaska and northwestern Canada to the southern Rocky Mountains, where it is a plant of alpine and subalpine environments. The single flower has five veined, fringed white petals each roughly a centimeter long. At the center of the flower are five stamens and five staminodes (the yellow structures) with edges of many narrow, round-tipped lobes. A staminode is an often rudimentary, sterile or abortive stamen, which does not produce pollen. Apart from the fringed petals I found the shape of the yellow staminodes particularly attractive in this flower.
The Barn Swallows were plentiful as they found all kinds of nooks and crannies to build their nests inside the National Fort we camped at. The one bird couple wanted to build their nests in the awning above the public washroom which was a nuisance to people who were visiting the site. So park staff would tear down the bits and pieces stuck to the wood before it actually became a nest. But the swallows kept going back to that one spot and starting all over again. The staff had to be diligent because once the birds had completed a nest, the staff were not allowed to interfere and tear it down. Although the swallows were a bit of a nuisance in this case, they actually came with fringe benefits for us campers. Did you know that swallows can catch about 60 insects an hour or about 850 a day! With the number of swallows we saw swooping by all day, we were not bothered by any insects at our campsite.
My tulips have flowered well this year...Most have now faded, but these fringed tulips still look superb.
