Our garden is alive with butterflies once again.
We spotted at least five different individual butterflies enjoying their Sunday dinner in the garden today.
We have been watching for them for several weeks now, and are so happy to find our garden animated with their bright fluttering wings this morning.
Zebra Swallowtail butterflies prefer to lay their eggs on Paw Paw Trees. We have several in the ravine at the back of our property, and so are blessed with these beautiful butterflies in the garden.
The banquet is spread from shrub to pot to bed to border.
The garden blossoms anew each morning with fresh nectar filled flowers, awaiting their visit.
And now we watch them enjoy it all, and hope they choose this garden as an adequate nursery for their next generation.
