Butterfly Gardening What is a butterfly garden? Host Plants - The key for having resident butterflies Nectar Plants What is a butterfly? ... Excellent Butterfly Books for Florida What is a butterfly garden? Where have all the butterflies gone? Few sights are more delightful than that of a butterfly flitting from flower to flower. But sadly, butterflies have become all too rare in our rapidly changing environment. Due in part to increasing environmental awareness, more and more people are changing their home landscaping methods in order to attract and conserve butterflies. Reducing the use of pesticides and growing butterfly-friendly plants are simple ways to invite butterflies to your doorstep. Butterfly Gardening is a concept designed to attract butterflies through the growing of two types of plants: food plants for the caterpillars and nectar plants for the adults. Choosing the location for your garden is very important. Butterflies are “sun-loving” — they use their wings as solar panels, warming their bodies so they can fly. Also, most butterfly plants prefer full sun. Shrubs and trees will provide the protection that butterflies need on windy or rainy days, as well as providing a location for butterflies to roost at night. Grouping plants with similar needs for mass effect to attract butterflies is also helpful. This brochure includes information on the types of plants needed to start a butterfly garden and will introduce you to just a few of the species of butterflies that are found in south Florida. Once you have an active butterfly garden, you may want to learn the butterflies you are seeing.

Garden Store The Patio The Exchange E-Postcards ... What You Think of FG Butterfly Gardening B utterflies are like flowers floating in the air. To make your garden inviting to them means adding a certain magic to your special backyard paradise. A garden with butterflies (as much as one with lizards, toads, earthworms and other such creatures) is a healthy, balanced and productive garden. In addition to their beauty, the insects of the order Lepidoptera (butterflies, moths and skippers) provide us the service of pollinating the flowers we grow in our gardens to provide us with the seeds and fruits we enjoy. B ecause , by design, butterflies are flyers it is not possible to create a permanent home for these magnificent creatures in your yard, only a way-station where they may stop by to refresh themselves during their everlasting journey. But by providing the carbohydrate-rich drinks they need for their energy intensive flight and the foods their children need to develop into their parents image, they may visit your little slice of Eden to allow you to enjoy their almost ephemeral beauty. B e aware though that just providing these colorful little angels the food and drink they prefer is not enough. No matter how much Buddleia, Milkweed, Sweet Alyssum or other butterfly favorites you may grow in you garden they will avoid it if you are in the habit of using insecticides, weed killers or seed dressings. Yes, some bad bugs may interpret your invitation to the butterflies to apply to them too, but if you give nature a free hand the birds, lizards, frogs, toads, parasitic wasps, ladybugs and other allies will keep the uninvited guests from ruining your garden party.

GardenGuides Home Seed Shop Book Shop Country Wisdom Bulletins ... Herb Guide Gardening for Flying Flowers by Naomi Mathews Lanao2@aol.com If your dream is to have your very own Garden of Eden, complete with beautiful butterflies, there are specific host plants you should plant that will provide for larval growth and adult feeding. Before you begin to create a butterfly garden, it is necessary to first learn more about the magical butterfly itself. Just exactly what is a butterfly? On close inspection, you will see that butterflies have very large eyes, allowing them to see in every direction without turning their heads. This unique feature of their anatomy helps them locate flowers and larval host plants more easily. They have a mouthpart called a proboscis, which they use for probing and sucking nectar from flowers. All butterflies have a club- shaped antennae that are most often feathery. However, their antennaes can be very differently shaped, depending upon the species. Butterflies have evolved a mechanism that isolates and concentrates certain noxious host plant chemicals into their caterpillars. Only female butterflies search for the specific host plants that will provide these chemicals to their caterpillars. These host plants are where the female butterfly will eventually lay her eggs. During pupation, these same chemicals are distributed into the wings and bodies of the butterflies, making them distasteful to predators such as birds.

Be sure to visit our sponsor The Nature Gift Store for Butterfly Garden items like butterfly feeders and houses. A butterfly garden is an easy way to both see more butterflies and to contribute towards their conservation, since many natural butterfly habitats have been lost to urbanization and other development. It is easy to increase the number and variety of butterflies in your yard. Simply grow the plants the caterpillars like to eat, and plants that adult butterflies feed on! Many websites provide comprehensive charts of plants that butterflies are attracted to and larval food plants. Several books are available at your local bookstore with butterfly plant lists and garden plans. Plants with varying blooming cycles can be placed together to keep your garden full of activity throughout the growing season. Butterfly Houses have slots the ideal size for keeping birds out while giving butterflies protection from the wind and weather, and are beautiful garden decorations. By having a nectar source close by, butterflies may be more likely to visit your butterfly house and garden. Maintaining a damp, slightly salty area in the yard may also help attract groups of butterflies. You can prolong the butterfly's stay in your garden and draw in others by providing both the food and shelter they need.
