My ButterFly Page
In 1997, I brought
home a 4" pot of Fennel to plant in my herb garden. In a few days
the plant was
almost gone and there
was a big green striped caterpiller growing and getting fat. Well,
this was the
beginning of our Butterfly
garden. We started planting host plants and nectar plants that the
different
kinds of butterflies
need to complete their life cycle. We built some screened boxes so
that we can
keep the caterpillers
confined until they "do their thing" and become beautiful butterflies and
we
release them.
We have mostly Gulf Fritillary and Black Swallowtails.
