Even though we've had a few chilly days, on the warm days there are lots of butterflies in my yard.
The butterflies in my yard are bright yellow, orangy yellow, beige, black and orange, orange, and I saw a small white one. I always feed the flowering plants in my yard with Medina granular organic fertilizer. I just throw a hand full of fertilizer around the base and roots of the plant. It is just so special to see butterflies and I want to encourage them as much as I can. But, I do wonder where all of the different varieties come from, to find my yard. A few blocks away, there's a Lowes and I always wonder if some of these butterfly eggs and larvae are brought in on their plants. And, I think they probably blow in with the cold fronts because there are so many varieties that I don't usually see. Often, when I'm driving down a street, I'll see a butterfly crossing in front of me. As they find the appropriate place to rest, they will lay eggs on a host plant, producing more beautiful butterflies.
This is a red admiral. So beautiful!! Resting on the stone for warmth.

I'm so glad they do find my yard!
