It's been a fabulous first year for our Butterfly Garden. It looks great, but more importantly, has hosted butterfly adults and caterpillars in abundance. This summer and fall, we've been thrilled to see Sleepy Orange, Cloudless Sulphur, Monarch, Gulf Fritillary, and Black Swallowtail caterpillars taking advantage of the host plants we planted for them.
Here's a piece I posted on Natural Gardening with a photo of a cloudless sulphur butterfly.
This is a great example of how providing host plants means adult butterflies (they were fluttering around this afternoon).
