The Palos Verdes blue was listed as an endangered species in 1980, when the animal was known from only three locations on the Palos Verdes peninsula in California. By 1984, because of urban development and the construction of a ballfield at Hesse Park, the species was believed to have become extinct. In 1994, the butterfly was discovered at a site managed by the Department of Defense in south Los Angeles, renewing hopes for the survival of this species.

The original plant never sprouted, so I took the rest of the seeds and put them in a different type of pot. I discovered today I have sprouts now. This is actually about 2 weeks worth of growth. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
