> Um, I am really bad at identifying butterflies! They weren't monarchs. Some were black with yellow edges, some were pale orange, and there were so many of them!
I don't know my butterflies either. In fact... Probably the only one I could identify would be monarchs (though I think there is another variety that mimic them too 'cause monarchs are poisonous so the birds leave 'em alone). Hmm... Maybe that is why I haven't seen any butterflies here... All the bloody birds lol. They are great. But they are noisey suckers especially at dawn.
> Butterfly gardens are very popular here. People cultivate particlar plants that attract them.Ooh. I didn't know people could do that :-) Except for growing a swan plant for the monarchs.
> My garden, on the other hand, consists of cactii and edible herbs.
Cactii are cool :-)
I hope you have lots of basil.
Mmm basil.
Do you make pesto?> My goal this summer will be to not have too many of them expire from my neglect. I'm using it as a measure of my ability to nurture.
Aw. Well... If they don't do so good... You can come give me hugs ok?
