Who’s Been Chewing My Plants?

The holes in the end of this strelitzia leaf just fascinate the Spoiler.

It may be that he has to look past it (as well as several other plants) to see out the window. But he has remarked on them several times and wondered about them.

I am fairly sure about them. I just presume that when the leaf was still furled, some critter came along, took a bite, decided that the leaf wasn’t to its liking and moved on. But the teeth marks remained and became more pronounced as the leaf grew.

Still, the Spoiler rarely wonders, so it’s an interesting thing.

I am more focused on the plants behind the big Bird of Paradise. Some of them are beginning to show signs of different insect infestations. Ah, the signs of spring!
