Really love the thread. Nice seeing what folks can grow in cooler climes. Here in FL we can't grow many of those. Plus, the way things are here now with the heat and humidity, working in the yard can be a challenge. I have been trying to up my game in terms of butterflies in the yard. The zebra longwings have been abundant in my yard this year probably because I have several large firebush in the yard due to the mild winter. Pics below are not mine but show what I'm talking about. Also getting giant swallowtails because of all of my citrus (host plant). Even have some monarchs this year. Black swallowtails, sulfurs and gulf fritillaries round out the main mix of suspects. I was planting a passion flower yesterday which is a host plant for the gulf fritillary and I barely had it planted before one was on it laying eggs. Amazing how they were able to find it so quickly.
