Butterfly gardens planted in a sunny spot with the right mix of nectar flowers and host plants can attract many different species of butterflies to your yard - Swallowtails, Monarchs and many more! You can even watch as they grow and develop through their life cycle - from egg to caterpillar/larva and molting to forming a pupa/chrysalis - to eventually emerge as an adult butterfly!

It's that time of year again! At least it is where I live. I imagine many in the US anyway had their butterfly season start some time ago. But here in the midwest its just starting!

This year I plan to update lots of pages on the site, add new ones, and I have started a new blog. The old software was having problems, so I installed a new Word Press blog. It still has a few things I need to fix on it, but its working.

I still need to update the plant and butterfly pages, having difficulty finding the time. I now have a product line of clothing, mugs, magnets, tote bags and more with images of the butterflies and flowers I've photographed on them! They all make great gifts - but my favorite are the framed tiles

Instead of lamenting the absurdity of the world let us try to transform the corner of it into which we were born. - Andre Maurois

While it may not be possible for us as individuals to save the entire world, we can do some things to improve our little corner of it
- our own property and our neighborhoods.

One way we can do this is to grow plants on our property that are native to our region. This will help our ecosystem by providing quality food and shelter to local wildlife, including butterflies.

If you are new to butterfly gardening, I suggest you start reading the articles in my ' Articles' section, such as the Introduction article.

If you already have some knowledge of butterfly gardening, you may want to start looking at the pages set up for individual butterfly and plant species.
