We have friends in Thailand who have grown what they call a ‘butterfly tree’. I’ve looked it up online but I can’t find it anywhere, it’s a tree with white flowers that seems to attract butterflies from miles around. If anyone knows what this is please let me know. We want one for our garden!

I’m from Fredericton NB and until recently we had a outdoor garden center with a large butterfly garden inside a closed space(all imported butterflies) which my son loved to go see. My mother who has quite a green thumb planted a plant; oddly enough called “Butterfly Bush”, that really attracted a lot.

There can never be too much information about butterflies available.
Perhaps your next article can address planting larval plants for different butterflies as a way to encourage them in the garden.

One of the best plants I use for attracting butterflies is lantana. It is a very hardy plant that produces tons of flowers. I have used it many landscape designs specifically for the attraction of butterflies and it never fails.

I’ve been on a butterfly garden last year and I’ve seen different kinds of butterflies especially the big ones, in the Philippines, they call it Mariposa. It’s very big..bigger than my two hands put together. It’s very lovely. How I wish butterflies know how beautiful their wings are. The butterfly with a transparent wings above is lovely..it’s my first time to that kind of butterfly.

I didn’t know this before that they are an organic way of pest control also. Great tip there about growing marigolds for the caterpillars. I got to try this one.

Oh I love them, there’s something about the patterns on their wings and the fact that they come from a caterpillar (of all animals) that sucks me in. Shame about your parsley though Glad your Commentluv links are working now though

Haha, bittersweet isn’t it? I’m hoping everything I do this year will keep them away from my leafy greens!
