My Butterfly Garden

2007-08-01

I planted these butterfly bushes spring of '06.  I didn't realize how big and wild looking they would get.  At first I was a bit dissappointed that they were sort of taking over and shadowing several of my other plants.  I have to say now that I have enjoyed them so much, that I'm not sure I can ever move them.  One of the butterfly bushes is directly infront of the window that is beside my desk.  I can look out and see several butterflies hanging from the purple flowers.  I've enjoyed them so much this summer.

Last evening while I was sitting here two of the butterflies seemed to be doing a dance for me.  I grabbed my camera and took a shot through the screen, I'm sure you'll recognize which shot that is.  I then went outside and started snapping.  I think I aggravated them a bit but, at times it was like they were posing for me. 

Here are a few of the shots I grabbed last night.  If you click on them, you can see them full size.

Hey Doe - if you wait until after the Butterfly bush has finished blooming, you can cut it back some. It will make the plant come back fuller the next year that way :)
