Butterfly And Caterpillar Corner

Hello to entice Butterflies in to my garden,I am going to grow some cabbages next year

 

Good morning Loli then all these butterfly friendly flowers I have planted,are a waste of time, I could have just left the dog poo laying all over the garden

 

Good afternoon nFrost its the same here I have at 10 large Buddleia 12 ft in height and in full bloom but not one butterfly to be seen

 

Great shots Jiffy my friend
I am including caterpillars on here .because they end up as butterflies

 

Good afternoon HsuH nay thank for your kind comments and your caterpillar ID

 

Good evening there are 10 of these in the back garden

 

Hi Jenny no my friend, there's no room for the butterflies,I'm laying in it

 

Our buddleia is only just beginning to come into flower but we have dozens (possibly over 100) of butterflies all over the verbena bonariensis, the hanging baskets and sunbathing on the patio (not at the moment as it's raining, but for the last few weeks).

It's quite fun to have a cloud of butterflies around our heads when we walk from the patio to the lawn - through the verbena. The verbena is in the gravel edging between the patio and the lawn (all self-seeded) and stretches from the kitchen to the summerhouse - about 70ft.
