Re: Gene's greenhouse / butterflies

Ah Ha! Great minds do think alike.
Cathy we have 3 spice bush that are reaching maturity now on the western side of the garden. Also have two species of pipe vine and our butterflies seem to prefer the foreign species.... We did not have good luck establishing a couple of papaws, but will try again this spring. You will get the butterflies... sometimes they are late, or not a lot, but you will get to see them. Don't forge the planting of dill and fennel.

I have also planted Lindera benzoin in an attempt to attract the
Spicebush swallowtail, Asimina triloba in an attempt to attract the
Zebra swallowtail, and Aristolochia durior to attract the Pipevine
swallowtail, but haven't observed any of them yet.
