BUTTERFLIES!
My butterfly garden has produced it's 1st butterflies!! We have fennel, parsley, lantana, and bottle brush just for the butterflies we use no pesticides on any of those.... there are lots of other flowers in the yard too.... vinca, zinnia to name just a couple..... We have had the "butterfly garden" for about 4 years but this is the 1st year we have actually seen the catapillars, cocoons & then the butterflies emerge!!!
This is a Tiger Swallowtail (female). Papilio glaucas

| This is what is left of the fennel bush. There are 8-10 cocoons on it. |
