Beautiful Becky! What a grand idea!

I've been trying to get some photos of my own start of a butterfly garden. I don't have the plants planted in the ground yet because I'm hoping to get a place in the front yard cleared of a huge tree trunk that was cut down last March. Once that's gone, I will park a pond form in that spot and put the flowers into the pond.

Such as it is, here is what's growing in my butterfly garden.

In that island there is:
Pink Mexican Petunias
Pink Salvia
Mexican Sage
A variety of Lantana
Milkweed
Blue Mist
Buddleia
Golden Dew Drop in both White and Light Lavender
Dark Night - Blue Mist
Several varieties of Hibiscus
Yellow Shrimp

The Palm will come out and so will all of the Scheffleras. I'm not doing much else until I have to for "winter".

Most of the plants above were purchased on the distressed aisle at Lowe's for 50 cents to a dollar. Yeah, I'm cheap! But I also have a soft heart for plants that need rescueing. :-)

And doggone it, if I find any more butterfly garden plants on the distressed aisle, I'll buy those too!
