    Butterflies

    Modified: May 7, 2020 · Published: Aug 22, 2019 by Sula · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    I've been thinking for the last few years that I would like to make my  yard more butterfly-friendly. Last year I planted a butterfly bush which didn't exactly "take off" but it seemed to establish pretty well. The polar vortex winter made me nervous about the survival of any newer plants. So I was very happy when the butterfly bush made it, and now it has beautiful, vibrant purple blooms.

    Would you like to save this recipe?

    I'll email this post to you, so you can easily come back to it later!

    This morning's visitor seems to agree!

    Any other butterfly fans out there? I'd love to hear what others do to attract our fluttery friends.

    p.s. anyone know what kind of butterfly this is?

    Edit: I thought I would add this beauty who came to visit a different flower this afternoon!

    I once told someone that my favorite reading materials were cookbooks and menus. He didn't understand. But since you are here, I'll bet you get it.... at least a little, right?
