I've never seen as many butterflies in a garden as I have in my first year garden, thanks to Lantana! The honeybees are out in full force as well! I planted this garden to bring back the butterflies and bees and food/shelter for the birds, and it really worked - the first year! It was a heck of a lot of work when the inside isn't even fully unpacked, but gives me so much more joy! Now if only I could stand the heat to weed for more than 10 minutes at a time here in NC!

Do you happen to have a butteryfly bath? It's a bird bath with wet sand(beach sand works great). Keep the sand wet, and the butterflies will find it.


Just thought I'd throw that out after looking at those great photo's!
