I am so happy to see a lot of butterflies in my gardens.
Planting a Butterfly Bush, Verbena, Zinnia, Sage and Purple Cone Flowers
are just a few flowers that will draw butterflies in to your yard.
Herbs like Dill, Parsley, and Oregano are great host plants for butterflies to lay their eggs!

Why not create a paradise for butterflies in your own garden.
This is a great website to get you started on raising your own butterflies.
You can purchase butterfly cages here, these are the cages I use.

Lovely photos. I don't mind looking at the pictures but butterflies and moths totally freak me out so creating my own butterfly paradise would be a nightmare for me. I'll leave it in your hands as you're doing a great job :0)
Hello, Debbie
Your butterfly images are gorgeous. I love all the flowers too, pretty blooms. I have seen 3 Monarchs now, they are beautiful. I love the Buckeye too. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day, have a great weekend. PS, thanks for visiting my blog and for the comment.
These photos are gorgeous. You are the butterfly whisperer, Debbie.
We do have a few coming to our yard with the flowers I have but I don't think quite the variety you have, even the hummingbirds seem to be more constant this year, so enjoying it!
Hope you have a great weekend!
They really are so interesting! I hiked this morning and saw some pretty butterflies and took a few pics of one of them. Still lots of webs with caterpillars in them too....not sure what they will all be. I hope it's something good! Enjoy your weekend. I'm going to 'chill'! Hugs!
Your photos are fabulous!
This has been a good butterfly year. Not big numbers but more species than usual.
After I found an entire row of parsley eaten by caterpillars one year, nothing else touched, and discovered they were the dusky swallowtail caterpillars. After that I made a point of putting out a pot of parsley just for them.
I love butterflies and moths. Your pictures are lovely.
Oh my goodness I'm happy to see them flying about my place as well, and your captures of yours are wonderful!
Beautiful images.
I am so happy to see them this year on my Indian Paintbrush plant.
I don't know how you get such amazing pictures. I have found butterflies the hardest to take photos of. They seldom sit still. Thanks for sharing.
Hello. Beautiful butterflies. Great photos.
What beautiful pictures of the butterflies.
Most you can only see here in a butterfly garden, these species cannot be found in the wild.
Oh, what a wonderful post with beautiful flowers and butterflies in it.
I always admire your perfect photos.
Have a nice Sunday, Debbie:)
Those are gorgeous butterflies! They certainly love your yard. We have a small butterfly bush that was a gift and several Monarchs have visited this summer.
hi ruth, that is a good plant to attract butterflies also. nice that you are seeing some!!!
You sure know your butterflies Debbie! Beautiful shots, those Monarchs are really something to see! :)
Amazing pics!
I've said it before and I'm going to say it again!
Beautiful photographs of beautiful butterflies.
Just WOW!
All the best Jan
Such perfect pictures! And I admire your knowledge.
Oh my, these photos are spectacular of the different butterflies. You just take amazing photos. I love the flowers that they light on too. I found the Cabbage White Sulphur Butterflies very unique and beautiful. As always, thanks for sharing so much beautfy of this world.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs!
