This beautiful
butterfly garden features fragrant flowers and shrubs that are
known to appeal to butterflies.
Butterfly gardens can be any size - a window box, part of your
landscaped yard, or even a small section of your garden. These
beautiful creatures sometimes called "flying flowers"
really enjoy the morning sun which helps them to warm up. Shrubbery
helps provide shelter protecting them from wind and rain, and
provide caterpillars a nice place to pupate. Butterfly Houses
have slots the ideal size for keeping birds out while giving butterflies
protection from the wind and weather, and are beautiful garden
decorations. By having a nectar source close by, butterflies may
be more likely to visit your butterfly house and garden.
Butterflies are a wonderful addition to any garden and are so
graceful as they flit about from flower to flower, indulging in
sweet nectar. They delightful to watch, so we plan a good place
that easily enables you to watch the butterflies visiting your
butterfly gardens.
Along with painted wings and graceful movements, butterflies have
many interesting behaviors you will want to observe. For example,
after rain you might see them "puddling," or sucking
fluids from wet soil to obtain water and salts. On cool sunny
mornings , they may bask on a rock to warm their bodies before
flight. Males can be territorial and chase other males away. Females
often have elaborate routines for choosing where to lay their
eggs. Each species has favorite plants so we incorporate a variety
sure to attract a wide variety of species. By including a butterfly
garden in your landscape, you create a natural habitat for butterflies
but also a relaxing sanctuary for yourself.
