I’m always trying to attract butterflies to my garden. I keep a water source and have plenty of butterfly-attracting plants – Pentas, Hibiscus, and then some. I don’t have a tally, but I’ve spent some bucks on the butterflies. No more – I found a Ferry-Morse Butterfly & Hummingbird Wildflower Mix – the best $10 ever spent at Home Depot! I filled in one of my 6′ x 6′ squares plus this dead corner space that was looking really drab, and I still have seeds left. The flowers are okay, but the results are outstanding! I see a butterfly at least once a day, and they stick around! In the past, they were transients passing by just to taunt me, and for some reason they all seemed to be Swallowtails. Now there’s a variety; I think this one is a Gulf Fritillary.
