Today, the butterflies were very active in my garden--maybe because it has been dry and hot here lately and I've been watering plants a little more--creating puddles for them.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-66122130006570844182013-08-20T14:25:36.287-04:002013-08-20T14:25:36.287-04:00I have always loved butterfly houses, but have nev...I have always loved butterfly houses, but have never seen one devoted to North American butterflies.

When at the Fling this year, we visited the Conservancy of Flowers which had a Butterfly House. It was a highlight of the trip. The flowers had little pull on me when butterflies were flying all about. You have wonderful photos of the butterflies. I think that is my favorite reason for visiting too, they just sit and wait for their photo op, so unlike the butterflies in the fields one has to chase down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-66026754127664772382013-08-19T19:11:37.637-04:002013-08-19T19:11:37.637-04:00Thanks Cher!

Funny, how we like what we don't have in our own back yard. I'd imagine that your butterfly season is much shorter and they have to be pretty hardy to handle the weather there. I am glad you enjoyed the photos. i am often drooling over the plants that grow in your part of the world.

It is a magical place. It does feature mostly tropicals but has some varieties that are present in North America as well. It's one of my favorite day trips in the area. I love the idea of a butterfly house that features exclusively native species. What a terrific idea and a lovely way to learn about these interesting critters.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-14124279473938325492013-08-18T21:36:17.316-04:002013-08-18T21:36:17.316-04:00Oh, what a photo opportunity your trip was, I am s...Oh, what a photo opportunity your trip was, I am soooo jealous! I can’t think of anything more beautiful than butterflies – well apart from some of the flowers in my garden maybe…but here in London we only have a few species of butterflies, not the variety I wish for. Great photos, thanks for sharing.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.com
