I did not know about the rocks for sunning. I have some, but I will add more for them. Great post!

Perhaps I’m too busy shooing the deer away to notice!

I’ve been seeing lots of pairs of butterflies flitting about lately – assuming they are mating so hopefully I’ll have a new brood of butterflies soon. Thanks for stopping by and leaving comment.

It’s nice to have an area aside from your gardens that offers so many host plants.

Here in our Shropshire UK garden we get various common varieties – http://hollygrovegarden.blogspot.com/2009/09/nectar-for-butterfly.html

We are fortunate to live out in the countryside and have plenty of nettles and wild grasses to support the llifecycle of the butterfly combined with the planting in our cottage garden to provide nectar.

Lovely to see them all flying around each day.

Thanks!
