The plant on the right is a little sprig of Snow on the Mountain growing at BB's house. It's a spreading shrub that makes leaves all white and pink colored when they first come out. It's very pretty. Unfortunately, it has a demon of a pest - a certain butterfly's caterpillars will munch it to the stalk, then eat all the bark off. Our Snows have been absolutely decimated lately.
Now I'm going to get some pix of the offending critters, too.
