Digging in the Dirt 3 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 Over the past week or so, I have noticed quite a few different butterflies flying through our backyard. We have quite a few tulips up, and the color is probably pulling the butterflies in, but not many (if any at all) of my spring plants that are blooming have any nectar, so the butterflies end up leaving. The plant closest to blooming in my garden, and the plant that one of the butterflies kept landing on was my perennial bachelor button. The flower heads are formed, but not quite ready to open. I know it's early in the growing season, so I know that there won't be to many plants that start blooming by Mothers Day, but does anyone have any suggestions for early blooming flowers that have some nectar that the butterflies can use. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digging in the Dirt 3 Report post Posted May 19, 2014 I think it's time to go buy some annuals because the butterflies just keep coming, but none of my flowers want to open yet. The chives and bachelor button are getting close, but they just won't open up. Oh well, it's nice to see the buterflies again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
