Butterfly who doesn't love to see a Beutiful Butterfly?
I've always loved Butterflies. There was this plant that my parents called a weed . . .
They literally were all over our property attracting these beautys . . . I giggle when I see the Texas Lantana in gardens and garden centers. If we had only known!
In later years my father discovered the Butterfly Bush . . .
He loved different varieties . . .
He spent many hours reading magazines and mail order sources discovering new varieties of plants that attract Butterflies.. .

I can imagine what it would have been like if he had owned a computer and had internet access!
Daddy's gardens were kind of wild . . .
He didn't have time to prune. He was too busy buying more plants . . .
More plants meant more Butterflies . . .My Saturdays were always sweet going to different
garden centers and green houses.
Daddy always got compliments from the neighbors on his gardens . . .

We had lantana when we lived in Arizona. So pretty! Some of our neighbors have butterfly bushes...but I don't see many butterflies around. It'd be fun to have something in the garden to attract them.
Horses and butterflies...magnificent combination! :)
I love the look of the butterfly bushes. Never seen any thing like them Very pretty!
Your dad is my kind of guy. Every year we have a few more butterflies coming through. Your post tells me it's time to put in a couple more butterfly bushes.

I love butterflies. I really should plant something to attract them. I like the monarchs the best, but I think I read that their numbers are going down.
Magnificent shots of nature's beautiful butterflies for B !
Happy Weekend to you,

What a great post. I would have liked to meet your dad. Just yesterday, we started a butterfly garden in hopes to attract them next year. Thanks for the inspiration!
i have a couple of lantana plants that come back every year - i did buy them at a nursery, initially, though.
I loved the butterfly post and the painting is beautiful. Thanks for linking to my blog and sorry that I didn't run my weekend linky this weekend. I'll have it running again this coming Friday. You can always link this post and your latest post. Take care!
What a beautiful bounty of butterflies of every kind! Including the wannabes!
I would have loved your Dad's gardens...sounds like just my style!
Thanks for linking for the letter B.
