Gettin' some Tiger in its tank!

Gettin' some Tiger in its tank!

LaVerne was enjoying a bright sunny day:  “As we were walking there were butterflies all around us & I said:  Wouldn’t it be awesome to see one land close by so we could take a picture?   Two minutes later there were wild tiger lillies and a butterfly landed as if on cue.   It was beautiful!”

DID YOU KNOW?    Butterflies are attracted to flowers by both colour and scent.    The Tiger lily is 2 for 2!    If you want to “plan” and “plant” your garden as a tourist attraction for butterflies you have to create different types of habitats.    You need:  1).  Plants as a food supply for the larvae.  2).  Nectar sources for the adults.  3).  Water (in the form of a mud pool).  4).  Sunlight and shelter.    Plants that provide food for adults are:  Aster, Morning Glory, Trumpet Vine and Day Lily.

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILDSIDE AND MOTHER NATURE WILL MAKE IT WORTH YOUR WHILE - SO WILL WE.    FAME IS YOURS ONCE YOU UPLOAD YOUR FRESH AIR PHOTO.    BT VIEWERS AND READERS OF THIS BLOG ARE STANDING BY.
