BUTTERFLIES IN BLOOM




This is the time of the year when many conservatories thrill visitors with butterfly releases. The conservatory at Dow Gardens is relatively small but that didn't minimize the excitement of watching dozens of butterflies flitting around enjoying the flower and artificial nectar. Can you identify these butterflies?

I love love love gardening too!

I cannot wait for the temperature to rise enough so I can start planting this years flower crop. And setting out the beer baits for slugs.

I like what you're doing with flowers from your garden! I use lavender from mine to make handmade paper.

Gardening is the best!
