1.7K views · 15 reactions | Our August Species of the Month is the beautiful purple emperor butterfly 曆 Restricted to heavily wooded areas in the south of England it is a rare treat to see one of these butterflies flying high in the tree tops. The females of this species look similar to the white admiral butterfly, but the orange rings on their forewings distinguish them.

One of the most common questions that I am asked is "What plants do the pollinators prefer?" Last week it was the red and purple giant porterweed. Pentas and porterweed are the top 2 that I see the most butterflies on. We do see them on all of our plants, but I would have to say those 2 are at the top of the list. We are open on Friday and Saturday from 9-2 if you are looking to attract more butterflies, hummingbirds and bees to your yard, stop by and see us! We are located at 23210 N. Buckhill
