Flowers for Butterflies

February 18, 2013 by Jeanne

Flowers for butterflies are one of my favorite topics, and I’m looking forward to sharing my knowledge on this subject in the late spring with a local garden club. I have a free little booklet on this website too which you can download and enjoy to help you plant flowers to attract butterflies. And today, I published a new article, with plenty of big, colorful pictures that I took personally here in my very own garden.  Please enjoy my latest article, Flowers for Butterfly Gardens.
