Thanks, Linda and Benita! I just happened to see the butterfly and was lucky she was still there after I ran inside to get the camera!
Benita, I ended up splitting my liatris and now I have 3 clumps. I didn't stake them, though, and now they are flopping over. That's the only downside to them.
Thanks, Sharon! I miss YOU here in Iowa. :( I didn't know about parsley! I will have to try that. I love butterflies and plant a lot of purple flowers to attract them.
Beautiful photo. I enjoy watching the butterflies visit our garden.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I have 2 of those flowers in my yard (at least I think they're the same things). They're just starting to bloom for me.

Awesome picture, Janet. I miss my Iowa butterfly garden. Do you plant parsley for the butterflies?They lay their eggs on it.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And that IS good luck that she (?) was still there!

I'm so glad I figured out you were answering Benita about flowers! I was afraid it was something scary and medical!
I think I have that on the brain because I've been catching up on doctor's appointments all summer...
LOL Jill, that DOES sound pretty sketchy, now that you mention it!!!
