The End Product

These are the purple loosestrife plants that were put in pots
on April 22 (See calendar date for photos.) Volunteers will
water them, measure their growth, pinch them back to promote
branching, add beetles early in June, and monitor the beetle
development until the new generation emerges as adults.
Then the plants will be put into nearby bioswales and the mesh
removed so that the beetles can move to loosestrife plants in that area.
