I once ordered Painted Lady butterfly larvae with a silly plastic house that was meant for children, and watched enthralled as they hatched! The tough winter took down all my butterfly weed, but more is on order. Love it!

I always plant fennel and dill for the caterpillars, which they seem to love. But last year, even though I had lots of tiny babies at one point, they were all gone a few days later. I realized they had become snacks for the birds...the way of nature, I guess:( This year I'm trying to grow swamp milkweed to try to attract more Monarchs. I'm hoping to see more butterflies this year than last year. Can't wait to see your 'Gay Butterflies'--sounds so colorful!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-39619695974107081562014-04-07T09:01:31.552-04:002014-04-07T09:01:31.552-04:00Hello there Mr. TOG !

I was so set to do it again last year but not one caterpillar happened, it was rather sad. Fingers crossed for this year though!<br /><br />Carrie girl hello there and yes ! I was so thrilled for this to work, I could barely believe it was happening .. such an amazing journey with it.<br /><br />Hello Gracie girl : ) it was one of my best moments to remember .. if it never happens again I will always have this to look back on and feel that thrill all over again : )<br /><br />Ms S : ) it truly was an exceptional event for us all. When I think of how many times I looked at that jar in the fridge and wondered "will this work??" and it DID !! LOL<br /><br />Hello Casa : ) YES ! ... I do have a lot of parsley, fennel which I love .. and many of the perennial flowers they love to draw them in. I hope to have some babies this year for next year : )<br /><br />Jennifer girl when I read "how to do it" I was leery too ... every time I open and closed the fridge I wondered if that motion would be too much for it with the vibration .. but if it was out in nature the wind and what not would stir it as well, so I just had to stop worrying about it and go with the flow .. we are in for heavy rainfall tonight... wash away more snow please!!

What a glorious creature it turned out to be! <br />Last summer I had very few butterflies. I really hope this year will be better.<br />Can you believe that it's supposed to be going up to 12 degrees. Given our past winter and early spring that's practically a heat wave!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-80636310809691276552014-04-03T21:49:42.639-04:002014-04-03T21:49:42.639-04:00Your swallowtail is native to our area so we have ...Your swallowtail is native to our area so we have lots. But there are many other butterflies that I rarely see. They also go nuts for zinnias, coneflowers, agastache, and need curly parsley and rue for their eggs. They also love smokey bronze fennel. I hope you have more this summer!Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-32863888584826885402014-04-02T23:05:39.237-04:002014-04-02T23:05:39.237-04:00I am moved by this--you proud butterfly momma!
