Hi Left head. Great information here. I love butterflies & if I can plant things in my yard to attract them I will. Keep posting suggestions.
My "Green Army" for 2018 Milkweed and pollinator friendly plant distribution. Pictured, Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly Weed), Fennell and the remainder of my Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum).
I gave away 50 Butterfly weed, 20 Anise Hyssop and all 23 Golden Alexander (Zizzia aurea) today.
Plants distributed among three townships.
No more flats! Everything is in 4" pots now. Yay!

Posted by bigpawbulletsSilly meme. But an attractive butterfly. Photoshopped or real?
