Butterfly Garden - "Humble Presence"

by Wes
(Ma )

Other than the free added colorings of butterfly wings fluttering about and an occasional pic or two I don't really do that much for these winged friends.

As of now my butterfly garden has butterfly bush (2 black nights), butterfly weed (1), garden phlox (3), fox glove(2) and some types of ornamental lilies (3).

I am adding flowering dill, fennel, parsley next season. Wishing I had room for milkweed but the garden has limited area for size. I can "cook the roots of a Dianthis" it is so hot in my full sun butterfly garden

After five years of trial and error, the area is now starting to get cooler and amending the soil has helped a lot. My goal is to be helpful to the butterflies and have an environmental awareness. I admire the ideas of all as I can learn from them.
